Currently at the University of Calgary, Marilou moved from a small town in New-Brunswick to Calgary in the hope of getting her double bachelor in Drama and Psychology. As she was most recently Miss Teen Personality Canada 2022, she saw first hand the impact mental health have on diverse communities. Wanting to do more she created different initiatives about self-love and youth in care support. Remembering her day of high school, she wished someone had come to her class and made her feel understood and appreciated even while struggling mentally, that is why she started this new journey with the JackTalk program : to be able to create this empowerment for others.
