She began her career as a film editor, including on Forcier's ''[Acapulco Gold](/source/Acapulco_Gold_(2004_film))'', before her first full cowriting credit on ''[The United States of Albert](/source/The_United_States_of_Albert) (Les États-Unis d'Albert)''.[Philippe Gajan, "Entretien avec André Forcier". ''[24 images](/source/24_images)'', No, 149 (March–April 2009). pp. 48-51.] and has had writing and/or production credits on every Forcier film thereafter.[Anne-Marie Gravel, [https://www.lequotidien.com/2016/09/15/une-histoire-damour-impossible-6c68e5660cd7bbab13e0eb7ca21cdf93/ "Une histoire d'amour impossible"].
