Since 2022, he has been working as assistant syndic at the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec (the province’s nursing accrediting body), performing investigations aimed at protecting the public from nursing professional misconduct.

He also worked for 10 years in occupational health and safety, disability management, and prehospital emergency care at Casino de Montréal. He participated in the province-wide vaccination efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic and more recently has been working as a consultant for private healthcare industry clients.

Maxime holds a professional technical diploma in nursing from Cégep du Vieux Montréal, a B.Sc. in nursing from Université de Montréal and a M.Sc. in nursing (leadership) from York University in Toronto. He obtained his neuroscience nursing certification from the CNA (CNN(C)) in 2013. He currently studies toward a professional certificate in investigation and intelligence at Université de Montréal.
