Biography
I’ve been doing weightlifting for eight years. I started after doing gymnastics because I wanted to get stronger, and I ended up falling in love with the sport.

My biggest accomplishments are winning the Junior World Championships twice and breaking the junior world record in the snatch in the 69 kg category.

I train in my hometown of Saint-Hyacinthe at Club Machine Rouge with my coach, Yvan Darsigny.

Outside of weightlifting, I study industrial engineering and work at my grandparents’ flower shop. My dad also trains at the gym, and my sister recently started weightlifting just for fun.

What is your favourite lifting memory?
My favourite lifting memory is from the Junior Pan Am Games, where I broke the junior world records, won the competition, and was the flag bearer for Team Canada. It was an amazing experience, especially because it was a multi-sport event with so many athletes all together for the same occasion.

What is one piece of advice you have for up and coming athletes getting into strength training or strength sport?
Don’t be shy to try something new. You never know what a new experience can bring you or where it might take you.

What is your favourite lift or event?
Snatch, its a mix of strength and technique 

What is your favourite product and why?
Weightlifting Knee Sleeves
It was my first ever SBD product. Its the piece that I wear everyday and its essential for lifting.

What 3 other items are your go to and why?
Weightlifting Singlet
T-shirt
Hoodie
The singlet because I want to look good on the platform.  The t-shirt because its really comfortable to train in and the hoodie because I always wear one!

What colourway is your favourite and why?
Momentum
White and black fit with everything! 

Why do you believe SBD is the gear all athletes should use?
SBD is a high-quality product you can trust. It provides support and protection during training and competition, helping you lift safely and giving you the confidence to push yourself to the next level.

Why do you believe in working with SBD Canada as a Sponsored Athlete?
I work with SBD Canada because they provide high-quality gear I can trust, which helps me lift safely and reach my full potential. Their products give me the confidence to push my limits in training and competition. Being part of the SBD team also means I’m supported by a community of athletes who share the same passion for strength sports, and that motivation helps me keep improving every day.
