A Little About Me

I am a French Canadian recently working for a stock investment firm, as a software developer and currently working full time on Leaders of Science. I was the president for six years and founder of ZEUS Vision Corp, which was a web application development consulting company in Ottawa, before the internet bubble crash of 2001.

 

I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Commerce majoring in Entrepreneurship and Management Information Systems from University of Ottawa, a Master of Science in Psychiatry from McGill University, and a Graduate Diploma in Computer Science from Concordia University. Furthermore, I have studied studied the areas of Molecular Biology, and Mathematical and Computational Finance, both at Concordia University. I have seen the quality of education go down as universities hire more researchers instead of teachers. This led me to recognize the need and market potential to launch Leaders of Science.


I am very passionate about helping students receive a quality education they deserve. I can still remember when I was about 12 year old and wanted to learn about genetics but was unable to find appropriate content to learn from. Now, with the internet, content is at our fingertip; we just need to deliver it in an appropriate format such that students can learn while having fun.
