Bio
Nathalie Dansereau joined CQDM in August 2026 as Communications Specialist, bringing more than twenty years of experience in strategic communications, public relations and institutional storytelling. A former reporter for major Montréal television networks, including Radio-Canada and LCN, she has built her career on transforming complex information into clear, human and engaging stories — ideally before the Six O’Clock newscast!
Known for her scientific curiosity and sharp editorial judgment, Nathalie creates communication tools that are both useful and accessible.
Before joining CQDM, Nathalie led her own public relations agency and supported organizations across a wide range of sectors. She is especially proud to have contributed to the visibility of organizations such as CRIAQ, Aéro Montréal, VIA Rail Canada, JA Québec, Pôle Réussite Montérégie, the Fédération des producteurs forestiers du Québec, the Société de criminologie du Québec.
Over the years, her involvement with numerous non-profit organizations and government bodies has allowed her to make a positive impact on school perseverance, financial and digital literacy among young people, food sovereignty, civil protection, the improvement of criminal justice, and the development of Québec’s aerospace cluster.
Recognized for her dedication, leadership and talent for making technical subjects feel approachable, Nathalie has written numerous plain-language articles on artificial intelligence. She also serves as an instructor in the RISC Foundation’s REaL program, where she raises young people’s awareness of climate change and cybersecurity issues.
Nathalie holds a graduate diploma in management from HEC Montréal and a bachelor’s degree in French studies and journalism from the Université de Montréal, combining rigour, creativity and practicality.
Passionate about language learning, literature, nature and team ball sports, she cultivates team spirit with as much enthusiasm as a good pickleball rally.
At CQDM, she brings authentic energy and strong storytelling skills to support innovation in the life sciences.
