About

With academic training in literary studies, communications and publishing, I have devoted my professional life to my passions for literature and books, written and broadcast communication, voice performance, and language teaching.

For more than two decades, I have worked in publishing and literature, both within established organizations and through my own freelance editorial and language services practice. Over the years, I have developed a broad range of skills that allow me to contribute at various stages of the editorial process. At the same time, my strengths as a communicator have led me to undertake a wide variety of writing assignments, create and host original radio content, perform voice acting for AI speech research projects, and share my passion for the French language as a teacher.

Although my career has already brought me great fulfillment, I remain eager to embrace new challenges. I seek opportunities to apply my experience in new contexts, expand my knowledge, and contribute to meaningful projects where my rigour, critical thinking, creativity and interpersonal skills can make a difference. I welcome conversations with employers and collaborators who believe my profile could be a good fit for their organization.
