Recipient in 2003 of a journalism award from Amnesty International, she has written many articles on the status of women and children in Nepal and Cambodia.Since her return to Québec in 2003, she returns regularly to Nepal. In 2008, she was part of the first Trek des femmes (Women's Trek) in Nepal,initiated by the CECI. This trek took her to Western Nepal, where she saw for herself the extreme destitution in which these isolated communities in the mountains live. She decides to take on this cause personally by organizing a fundraiser and a second Trek des femmes in Nepal in September 2009 with a dozen Quebeckers, including the actress Karine Vanasse and two cinematographers. Since 2007, Dominique works in philanthropy management for charitable organizations. She decided to join the ROTH team in 2010 because of the quality of their projects, thecommitment of the volunteers and because all the funds that are raised go directly to the disadvantaged people.

Annie has always been a travel enthusiast, and her first humanitarian trip was in Kenya, in 2007.
