Annie Trudeau
Biologiste junior
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
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 graduate biologist from the Université de Sherbrooke. She obtained her bachelor’s degree in ecology, 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 the various internships and jobs she completed throughout her bachelor’s degree that Lauralie found her interest in environmental consulting and field work. Wetland inventories and the characterization of rare woodlands led her to develop her skills in the identification of floristic species and forest inventories.
Lauralie is passionate about learning and new experiences, driven by her curiosity and interest in the various aspects of ecology. Her studies and work experience made her discover an interest in complex ecosystem interactions and geomatics, in addition to her pre-existing interest in flora and fauna.
Audrey Thériault
Étudiant.e en biologie, responsable des communications
Audrey Thériault is a master’s student in plant biology with Projet RARE at Université Laval. Their project in wetland restoration aims to test the soil transfer technique for plant recovery in disturbed marshes and swamps.
They hold a bachelor’s degree in biology from the COOP program at Université de Sherbrooke. Audrey worked on a phenology project for Mark Vellend’s laboratory, as well as two master’s projects in plant ecology and insect interaction. Today, they use their knowledge of biology to popularize science. For example, they have written articles and created fact sheets and videos on waste management for the Haut Saint-François MRC.
Audrey wants to share science with the general public. That’s why, since January 2023, they have been working on our blog posts, among other things. Audrey is responsible for communications and the creation of popular content.
