I like to challenge myself when I act. For me, what it means to be an actress is to explore the different dimensions of a script to bring out its transcendental essence.

 
Play by Catherine De Sève
 

 Drama

Excerpt from The Handmaid's Tale as Mrs. Allston (2:50) "A beautiful filming experience where creative energy led to a lot of improvisation. There was a lot of intense emotion in the 27 takes needed to complete this scene. Both the director--Mike Barker--and the producer--Elisabeth Moss--helped bring out the best from the crew and the actors."

Excerpt from Ruptures as Jacinthe Sirois (2:11). "Jacinthe is a woman struggling to regain custody of her daughters from her manipulative and domineering husband. In playing Jacinthe, I saw myself as a vehicle of hope for women who encounter these kinds of difficulties in their lives."

Excerpt from L'auberge du chien noir as Anaïs Provencher (2:03). "Anaïs is the embodiment of a woman who, over the course of 15 years on screen, dared to go beyond her what she thought were her own limits, and, despite a difficult past, returned to school and found a job as a translator. This was an incomparable experience of working with a team that became a family."

 Comedy

Excerpt from C'est comme ça que je t'aime, role by Anita Gingras, 1 min 38.

From The Sketch Show as Catherine (1:03) "This show, adapted from the British series, was was one of the first sketch comedy shows shot in Quebec. I love Monty Python, and these sketches really made me laugh while we were shooting them!"

 
 

Extract from L'appart du 5e as Sandrine (0:57). "Sandrine, the owner of the apartment building where the series is set, was a really nice character. She was a little bit naïve, into the esoteric and managed to stay cheery and optimistic despite owning a haunted apartment."
