Although she made a number of short and feature-length narrative fiction films through her career, she was known principally as a director of documentary films.
Born and raised in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve quarter of Montreal, she studied film at the Institut national supérieur des arts du spectacle et des techniques de diffusion in Belgium. After making two short films she made her full-length debut with the film Aline in 1992, and turned to documentary filmmaking while teaching at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi. Her filmmaking career consisted almost entirely of documentary films afterward, except for a brief return to narrative filmmaking with the 2018 short film Un printemps incertain.
Her final film, Break Free (Fuir), about women escaping domestic violence, premiered at the Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma in 2022.
