Her last project Ain’t no time for women was presented in multiple prestigious festivals (Clermont-Ferrand, Slamdance, Palm Springs…) She won the award for Best Canadian Short at Hot Docs and Le Prix de la Relève at the RIDM. This last prize gave her the opportunity to create a documentary project with Radio-Canada.
