Lepvraud was born on 15 July 1974 in Loudéac, in the Côtes-d'Armor department, in Brittany.[1]
She began her involvement in politics following the 2005 French European Constitution referendum.[2]

She presented herself as a candidate for LFI, as part of the New Ecological and Social People's Union (NUPES) coalition, in the 2022 French legislative election. Tangui Kazumba served as her electoral substitute.[3] In her campaign, she called for a shift away from industrial agriculture towards more sustainable agriculture and called for an end to austerity, including the planned healthcare cuts in her region.[4] In the first round of the election, she more than doubled her vote share from 2017, finishing with 27,21% of the vote and making it to the second round.[5] In the second round, she finished with 53,42% of the vote, defeating incumbent La République En Marche! deputy Yannick Kerlogot.[6]
