World champion, focused, dedicated and smiling.
Working towards the Olympic dream.
This is my project
I'm chasing the Olympics — by method, not luck.
I am a 19-year-old sailor from Montréal, driven by a deep passion for the ocean and high-performance sport. I am currently balancing my Olympic campaign with an engineering dual degree at CentraleSupélec and McGill University.
I compete in the ILCA, formerly known as the Laser, the men's individual Olympic dinghy class. My mission is twofold: to reach the Olympic podium and to create a positive impact on the world along the way.
