Annie Trudeau
Intermediate Biologist
Annie Trudeau holds a bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from the Université de Montréal. She also completed a master’s degree in environmental management at the Université de Sherbrooke. Her academic career led her to develop an interest in wetlands and the ecosystem services they provide. The internships she completed, particularly with T2, enabled her to discover her interest in environmental consulting and to develop her autonomy and ability to rapidly acquire new knowledge.
Since joining T2, her work on several major projects, including the characterization of wetlands located in the right-of-way of a future 40 km power transmission line north of Chibougamau, has made her develop her skills in project management and the identification of floristic species. She has also participated in various ecological characterization projects, such as the characterization of four data management sites totaling over 200 hectares in the Quebec City region. Passionate about Quebec wildlife, Annie is developing expertise in this field, particularly in amphibian and reptile inventories.
Audrey Foisy-Morissette
