A graduate of Concordia University,[4] she began performing stand-up and musical cabaret shows in Montreal in 2013.[5] In 2016, she and collaborator Thomas Leblanc launched Saint Céline, a cabaret show devoted to Céline Dion, which was staged again in 2017 and 2018 due to its popularity.[6]

She appeared on The Traitors Canada in 2024,[10] finishing the season as the runner-up.
