Raised in the vibrant, multicultural city of Montreal, Canada, I’ve always been drawn to stories rooted in adventure, history, and far-off worlds. Having traveled to more than 25 countries, I draw inspiration from the cultures, landscapes, and people I’ve encountered—many of which began as handwritten journal entries along the way.

I am currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Optometry at the University of Montreal, where I’ve developed strong research and analytical skills that directly inform my approach to worldbuilding and myth-driven storytelling. These skills played a key role in shaping The Marleau Twins: Race for Midgard, from its historical influences to its layered fantasy elements.

Race for Midgard is my debut novel, combining a lifelong love of travel, history, and speculative fiction. I aim to write young adult fantasy that feels immersive, thoughtful, and adventurous—stories that invite readers to explore new worlds while questioning fate, courage, and choice.
