a professional writer & communication specialist
Having worked 30 years as a journalist, writing articles on just about everything for a variety of French- and English-language newspapers, magazines and websites, and as a copywriter and communication advisor producing advertorials, PR material, reports and catalogues, I know storytelling, how to put your ideas into text and how to make it look good.
more than just a proofreader
When proofreading a text, document or report—no matter what the topic is—it’s not enough to just look at spelling, grammar, formatting and typography. You also have to make sure everything makes sense and sounds good. If there’s a better way to communicate things, you will receive suggestions for corrections and reformulation.
a seasoned translator who cares about authenticity
By translating endless articles, documents, reports and also books from French to English and from English to French, I’ve become fully aware of all the traps linked to translations between these two languages. Your texts will never look or sound like they’ve been translated.
a motivational communication coach
For many, making an important presentation, interviewing for a job or a promotion or performing a speech in public can be daunting and even more so if it’s not in your native language. Get help with what you’re presenting and how you’re delivering it from a communication coach who will also motivate you and build your self-confidence.
a committed & constructive language teacher
Learning and perfecting a language takes time and work, but thanks to targeted and specially tailored lessons, we’ll focus on what’s most important to you so you can see results rapidly. For the past 10 years I’ve taught English and French to adults and teens, from beginner to advanced levels.
