Driven by a passion for climate change and social justice, Madeleine believes science not only reveals our shared vulnerabilities in a changing world but also empowers us to make informed decisions that drive meaningful change. In her research, Madeleine focuses on developing tools to help institutions address climate change, exploring participatory research methodologies, and using science as a playground to envision alternatives to the current extractive and colonial economic systems.

Madeleine holds a bachelor’s degree in biology with a Minor in Anthropology from McGill University. She earned her master’s degree in biology at McGill in 2021, contributing to a multidisciplinary research team. Following her graduate studies, she worked with Professor Catherine Potvin as a research assistant and coordinator on several initiatives, including the PIVOT project, the Onigam participatory research, and the Bacuru Droa – old growth observatory – project.
