THE ESPACE LGBTQ+ TEAM
CANCER
With a bachelor's degree in sexology and studies in public administration, I have developed a multidisciplinary approach to my work. My professional career has been eclectic and varied, ranging from direct intervention to politics, including content creation in sexology. For several years, I have been dedicated to managing non-profit organizations (NPOs).
CANCER
Curious by nature, philosophy was my first calling. After completing my master's degree, I worked as a teacher, woodworker, horticulturist, and community facilitator. Through my diverse career path, I have explored various ways of transforming our relationships with others and the spaces we share. Now, I use my experience to strengthen the sense of community among neighborhood organizations and to promote the development of shared knowledge.
TAURUS
Starting with a background in engineering, I turned to communications, digital technology, and social issues. With over seven years of experience, I combine my technical and interpersonal skills to create and manage projects, both professional and voluntary-driven, in communications and events. My commitment: to work on projects that are meaningful and have a positive impact.

For over ten years, I have been leading campaigns in fundraising, communications, and mobilization, both regionally and nationally, in social economy, independent community sector, and the transfeminist movement. I play a key role in several community networks, particularly in philanthropy and partnerships. With a master's degree in sociology and a dual bachelor's degree in philosophy and sociology, I conduct action research on our relationship with waterways in urban and peri-urban areas.
LEO
Driven by collaboration and community development, I am involved in Quebec's LGBTQ+ community, with master's degrees in public administration (ÉNAP) and political science (UdeM). I have developed expertise in governance, mobilization, and organizational development by collaborating with labor market stakeholders and youth organizations. Today, as the executive director of a advisory committee, I work to strengthen collaboration and find solutions to challenges in the community, all the while supporting Espace LGBTQ+.

I hold the position of Senior Director, Climate Change and Sustainable Development at EY, with expertise in sustainability, risk management, governance, and finance. I am also involved in volunteer work and engaged in the community as a member of the Board of Directors of Fierté Montréal.
SAGITTARIUS
As an urban planner, I am passionate about cities, sustainable mobility, and politics. I believe in the importance of collective action and I have been actively involved in my community for several years to make our society more inclusive and environmentally sustainable.
SAGITTARIUS
As a Black trans woman with autism, I bring a unique perspective to sociocultural mediation, which is rooted in my own experience. With a passion for marginalized narratives, I use my skills in pattern recognition and deductive reasoning to navigate complex social landscapes. With Studio ZX, I advocate for representation, fair treatment, and compensation for marginalized artists and professionals. I am excited to join the Espace LGBTQ+ Council to advocate for social justice and community empowerment.

With a bachelor's degree in psychology, a certificate, and a graduate diploma (DESS) in human resources, I have solid expertise in human resources management. My rich experience in municipal and provincial politics brings this unique perspective to our team.
GEMINI
I have been working for over 12 years in social economy and local project financing, bringing a territorial and financial perspective to the board of directors at Espace LGBTQ+. I believe in the ability of communities to create vibrant, inclusive, colorful, and self-sustaining urban spaces. I also enjoy karaoke, rock climbing, making collages, and exploring Montreal by bike.
CANCER
Holder of a Bachelor’s degree in Political Communication from the University of Montreal, I have been working in the philanthropy and independent funding sector since 2017. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to support several non-profit organizations in their financial development, helping them diversify their revenue sources and strengthen their impact. I am driven by the desire to contribute to a more just, inclusive, and supportive world. Today, I am proud to put my expertise and commitment at the service of Espace LGBTQ+, contributing to the vitality of our community.
TAURUS
College philosophy professor and resident of the Village for about twenty years, I am committed to creating and strengthening environments where our communities can thrive and build stronger connections. Drawing on my experiences in politics and the media, I aim to help Espace LGBTQ+ fulfill its roles both as a hub for various organizations and as a welcoming space for people of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities.
