Professionally, Agathe is an executive director and consultant in organizational development for non-profit agencies.  She has also worked as a community-based program developer and worked at the post-secondary and continuing education levels. She has a Master of Education degree from the University of Alberta (2000) in Adult and Higher Education.   She has a particular interest in women’s ways of learning and is fluent in French as well as English.

Aspiring to combine her professional abilities with her sailing passion, and being committed to empowering individuals, especially women, to acquire the needed skills to feel comfortable in a cruising sailboat, she pursued instructor certification with the International Sail and Power Association, now known as Canadian Recreational Yachting Association, in 2009.

In 2010, she acquired a Hunter 335 and started her company: Morgana Sailing Inc., based in Comox.  She is certified to teach students at Competent Crew, Day Skipper, Coastal Navigation and Coastal Skipper levels.

In 2012, Agathe was a crew member on SV Big Ben entered in the Cruising Division of the Vic-Maui Race from July 5 to July 25.  This race from Victoria to Maui entails sailing approximately 2400 nm and is a test of navigational and sailing skills. Agathe undertook the task of provisioning in preparation for the race, was tasked with navigation and weather routing after 4 days at sea and was recognized as "the best helmsperson on board”.

In 2016 Agathe undertook the return trip (Maui to Victoria) sailing on S/V Miles.  This return sail was definitely a challenge for the crew and once again, Agathe proved her worth as an experienced sailor and was awarded her CRYA Yachtmaster Offshore Certification.

Undaunted by the challenges of the 2012 ocean crossing, she pursues her dream of sailing offshore and joined Blue Water Cruising Association from which she took a multitude of courses such as:  ISAF Offshore Safety and Sea Survival Course, Offshore Weather & Passage Planning, Offshore Medical Preparedness First Aid and Emergencies at Sea, Single Side Band radio operation as well as Diesel engine maintenance.

In 2013 Agathe and co-owner Georgette purchased a Spencer 44, Free Spirit, an offshore veteran, and they are outfitting her for extended ocean cruising.
