My thesis focuses on the working children's social movement, particularly in Latin America, and on youth protagonism. I am working under the supervision of Françoise Montambeault at the Université de Montréal. I am also doing an internship focused on human rights as part of my master’s program. I hold a bachelor’s degree in International Relations and International Law from UQAM.

I am interested in critical childhood studies, partly because I have worked with young people for several years. In this perspective, I collaborate with the ProNats network in Germany, which supports the movement of working children and adolescents. During my studies, I had the opportunity to participate in the International Human Rights Clinic at UQAM and in the Summer School in the Philippines organized by the Centre for International Studies and Research at UdeM, which allowed me to conduct a short research project with an organization protecting women's health in Manila. I am also interested in journalism and in cinema as a medium for research and awareness-raising.
