Beauchamp studied at the Université de Montréal and obtained a bachelor's degree in psychology in 1985. She would be director between 1987 and 1998 of several community and social institutions including Montreal's non-profit and community radio station CIBL-FM. She was also involved heavily in business affairs and social and economic development in Montreal's east end.

Beauchamp entered provincial politics in 1998 when she was elected in the riding of Sauve on October 30, 1998. She would be more involved on the provincial issues of culture being the opposition critic in culture and communications. She would be re-elected in Boruassa-Sauve when the Liberals regained power in the 2003 elections. She would be subsequently named the Minister of Culture and Communications while also being named the minister responsible for the Montreal region for the full mandate.

In 2007 after the Liberal was re-elected to power as a minority government, Jean Charest named Beauchamp Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment and Parks replacing Claude Béchard who assumed the portfolio for Natural Resources after the defeat of Pierre Corbeil. She was replaced in her Culture and Communications portfolio by former Radio-Canada journalist Christine St-Pierre while Economic Development Minister Raymond Bachand took Beauchamp's responsibilities in regard to affairs surrounding the Montreal region.
