Originally from Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, Isabelle moved to Fort McMurray with her family in September 2011. She was looking for exciting opportunities in her new home and so naturally when she heard about Volunteer Wood Buffalo (VWB) she was thrilled.

She was able to use these skills to help VWB organized their annual event, A Taste of Fort McMurray. More recently, she has been working with VWB as Events Coordinator. Isabelle is also involved with the Board of Directors of the YMCA Wood Buffalo as well as Kids Forever. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her two adorable daughters and husband, going camping, hiking and discovering the beauty of Fort McMurray!
