She is currently doing a Ph.D. at the University of Montreal in the context of which she studies the spontaneous dumps of the 20th century in island environments (in Quebec and Barbuda), in particular, to study the behaviours and practices of island communities and to develop methodologies for the collection, analysis and storage of contemporary collections.
