Annie Trudeau
Biologiste junior
With a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences and a Master’s in Environmental Management, Annie is a versatile biologist. Her academic background has led her to develop an interest in wetlands and the ecosystem services they provide. Since joining T2, Annie has characterized a variety of wetland and terrestrial environments. Her passion for wildlife has led her to carry out wildlife inventories, particularly of amphibians, reptiles and large fauna. In addition to field work, she puts her management skills to good use as project manager for various large-scale projects, such as biological inventories for mining projects north of Chibougamau, and ecological characterization of four data management sites totalling over 200 hectares. She also coordinates multidisciplinary teams. She has an outstanding command of the French language, both written and spoken. She is also fluent in English.
Audrey Foisy-Morissette
Biologiste intermédiaire
Audrey Foisy-Morissette is a biologist who graduated from the Université du Québec à Rimouski. She also obtained a college diploma in bioecology from the Cégep de Sainte-Foy. Working as a private consultant since 2020, Audrey specializes in natural environment inventories, ornithology and wetland and hydric environment restoration.
Audrey doesn’t hesitate to discover new regions to accomplish her work. Her professional experience has taken her from the gigantic peat bogs of Northern Quebec and Abitibi to the tropical forests of Honduras and Nicaragua. Since joining T2 in 2022, she has been involved in large-scale wetland creation and restoration projects for municipalities. She particularly enjoys visiting new sites and seeing their potential for restoration to natural environments, even if they are in an urbanized environment.
Lauralie Béliveau
Biologiste junior
Lauralie Béliveau is a newly graduated biologist from the Université de Sherbrooke. She obtained her bachelor’s degree in ecology in 2022, in parallel with the microprogram in practical ecology, enabling her to master various inventory and identification techniques associated with field work. Lauralie has also completed the graduate microprogram in applied ecology, enabling her to acquire knowledge in the management of natural environments.
It was during various internships and jobs she completed as part of her university career that Lauralie found her interest in environmental consulting and field work. She was able to demonstrate her autonomy and her ability to quickly acquire new knowledge and the skills needed to carry out the tasks required. Wetland inventories and the characterization of rare woodlands enabled her to develop her skills in the identification of floristic species and in forest inventories.
Lauralie is passionate about learning and is driven by her great curiosity and interest in the various aspects of ecology. Her studies have enabled her to discover an interest in the complex interactions of ecosystems and in geomatics, in addition to her pre-existing interest in flora and fauna.
After two internships at T2, Lauralie recently officially joined the team. Her skills and experience in characterizing various environments are an asset to the team. She would like to improve her skills in wildlife inventories and thus gain more experience on the field.
Laury Ouellet
Biologiste junior
Laury Ouellet completed her bachelor’s degree in ecology at the Université de Sherbrooke in 2021. She is currently pursuing a master’s degree in environmental management. Curious by nature, she is interested in all areas of biology and wishes to perfect her skills in wildlife and plant inventories. She also has a keen interest in environmental law. Her work experience has enabled her to develop her management and organizational skills. She also enjoys working as part of a team.

Rachel Parent
Biologiste junior
Rachel Parent first had a career focused on the visual arts, then her passion for the conservation of biodiversity and ecology prompted her to complete a bachelor’s degree in biological sciences at the University of Montreal. She then developed an interest in plant biology during an internship on phytotechnologies.
She is currently pursuing her master’s studies in plant biology at the plant biology research institute (IRBV) of the University of Montreal. In parallel with her master’s degree, she completed a two-year internship at T2 Environnement as part of a project to restore the banks of a stream located in Otterburn Park, in Montérégie. The objective of this research project is to select plant species and implantation methods adapted to root growth in clay soils, in order to improve revegetation techniques and allow soils and riparian ecosystems to regenerate.
She wishes to contribute to future ecological restoration projects using the results of her research project. In addition, her collaborations on various T2 projects allow her to develop and improve her knowledge in the field, particularly with regard to the identification of plants.
