In 2016, I had the opportunity to engage meaningfully in the cultural sector in Gatineau in two significant ways: as a volunteer assistant at Galerie UQO and as a volunteer at the congress of the Société des Musées du Québec. These experiences not only deepened my understanding of the art world but also strengthened my professional skills in cultural management.

Experience at Galerie UQO
As a volunteer assistant at Galerie UQO, I contributed to gallery supervision and exhibition mediation. I was also involved in supporting the development of promotional and cultural mediation strategies aimed at reaching broader and more diverse audiences.
Volunteering at the Société des Musées du Québec congress
Concurrently, my role as a volunteer at the Société des Musées du Québec congress provided valuable insight into the challenges and innovations shaping museum management. During the event, I assisted with welcoming speakers and facilitating sessions, allowing me to develop skills in event logistics and audience services.
