Sylvie Poirier looks 20 years her junior. But this bustling editor has the life experience under her belt that - without seeing her gorgeous complexion - would make her seem 20 years her senior. Working as an editor at magazines such as L’Essentiel, Clin d’Oeil and Elle Québec, has garnered Poirier into a household name in the Québec magazine industry. With teaching certificates from the University of Québec at Chicoutimi and the University of Québec at Montreal, a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in French Literature from the University of Montreal, Sylvie Poirier has the patience of a teacher and the creativity of a film producer.
