Since then, Karine has been working as a Registered Dietitian in Kapuskasing at the Centre de santé communautaire de Kapuskasing et région. Working in a small community in Northern Ontario, Karine has had the opportunity to work in many areas of dietetic services such as long-term care, acute care and community setting. This opportunity has brought a wealth of experience in nutrition services.
 
Karine strongly believes in community engagement and applies it in her professional and personal life. She currently sits on a local administration council as well as her local service board and is a volunteer firefighter for the village of Hallebourg, where she currently resides.
