Julie-Christine Denoncourt

In her third year of a bachelor's degree in international studies at the Université de Montréal Julie-Christine got hooked on environmental policies, which led her to a master's degree in applied political studies - environmental pathway - at the Université de Sherbrooke. During her master's degree, she was part of the Université de Sherbrooke's student delegation to COP25, which allowed her to become familiar with international climate negotiations and to grasp the importance of citizen pressure on governments.

It was the link between scientific research and activism that led Julie-Christine to join Équiterre. She completed her first internship in the fall of 2020 within the mobility team, before staying on as a part-time research assistant. In the summer of 2021, still at Équiterre, she began her final master's internship, on source reduction and circular economy issues. In July 2021, she took on the role of full-time Research Advisor, before being promoted to the position of Project Manager, Source Reduction in May 2023.
