Have you had the chance to meet the energetic Élisabeth Dignard, who has been with us since the beginning of the summer? If her name doesn’t ring a bell, that could change very quickly. It’s probably because she spent a few years living the American life. You’ll read more about her on our blog or probably run into her at one of our events this fall, since she’s taking over from Élise during her year of motherhood.
Tell us about your background.
I started playing tennis competitively at a very young age and only stopped two years ago. This sport, which I practiced during CEGEP and university, taught me a lot. During this time, I developed my determination, my resourcefulness and I learned to make sacrifices. I also met friends for life, who share the same values and the same love for tennis as me.
At the age of 17, I left Quebec City to settle in Ada, Oklahoma, and continue my studies at East Central University, which gave me a sports scholarship for my lithuania telephone number data entire bachelor’s degree. I studied business administration, with a concentration in marketing, but I quickly realized that communications interested me much more! I still finished my studies in marketing, in addition to starting a master’s degree in international affairs.
Since returning to Quebec City
I have worked in digital communications email communication with your agency: 5 commandments for online products, before joining Spektrum as a content strategist . I also created my own blog (I had been dreaming about it for a while!), Découvre ton Québec , on which I share my local, gourmet and event discoveries.

What dream would you like to achieve?
Traveling the world! Seriously, traveling gives me an indescribable feeling and I consider myself very lucky to be able to do it regularly.

What is your role at work?
Most of the time, I develop content strategies for clients. I also take over to maintain the activities of the SPK ecosystem: blog, events, social networks, etc.!

Just enough! I am quite career-oriented and my jobs have always been a priority in my life . However, the older I get, the more I focus on quality of life and I know how to impose my limits.

What does your dream life look like? What does success mean to you?
It’s a bit like what I’m experiencing right now. I have a life partner who constantly motivates me, a great group of friends, an exciting job and the opportunity to travel often. I feel really blessed!
