All I ever wanted was to live a hundred lives that weren't my own."

02.The Journey.
Not as a newcomer chasing a dream, but as a woman who knows exactly what she wants and how to get it."
After building a successful career in real estate development, she has made a deliberate, passionate pivot to the film and television industry — not as a newcomer chasing a dream, but as a woman who knows exactly what she wants and how to get it.
Her screen credits already span both sides of the Atlantic. She appeared in the British international series Largo Winch and has featured in high-profile commercial campaigns for 7up, Sensodyne, and Montréal's Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Beauchemin Agency), as well as a speaking role in a national spot for Bran Source by Germain Larivière. On camera, she is precise, confident, and effortlessly present.
Off screen, Karine is equally compelling. She is a PADI Certified Open Water Diver (33m/100ft), a published recording artist with two original songs — So Little Time and Then Came You — available on Spotify and all major platforms. A natural singer with a passion for cinematography, music, and the natural world, she brings authentic depth to every role she takes on.
A BBA-educated entrepreneur turned artist, Karine is a PADI-certified diver, a recording artist with two original releases on all major platforms, and a fluent bilingual creative — equally at home beneath the ocean's surface or in front of a lens, singing, modelling, or telling stories that matter. Based in Montréal, available worldwide.
