I discovered the FabLab through a friend and fell in love with the creation of projects and helping others achieve their goals through FabLabs.

Currently I work for FabLab Onaki and take charge of the "Nomad" project where we bring CNC, 3D printers, Vinyl Cutters, Lasers and all the material to remote communities in northern Quebec. We provide an 8 week program to unemployed youth who are also not in school. I've been working with this lab since 2018-2019.

I am indigenous from northern Canada, so for me to travel in the north with the FabLab is a great pleasure, but not for all, as some people may experience culture shock in these environments. 

For the duration of my time with Fab Academy I will not be travelling, but working from our main lab in Gatineau Quebec.

I have had many other jobs in other fields, but nothing related to this type of work.
