About Me

When you need to communicate with people who don’t share your area of expertise, key points can easily get lost in translation — if you can earn their attention at all.

I can bridge the gap. Equipped with graduate-level journalism training and over a decade of full-time experience, I engage non-expert or multidisciplinary audiences with academic, scientific, medical and technological topics.

Nearly everything is interesting under the right lens. Some stories practically tell themselves, which is always a pleasure, but I’ll gladly use my advanced writing skills to turn something complex or dry into an appealing and accessible read. Through resourceful research and rigorous fact-checking, I’ll make sure to do so without sacrificing accuracy.

My national and international clients have included the Canadian Cancer Society, McGill University, Reader’s Digest magazine, the International Labour Organization, Concordia University, Best Health magazine, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Kids Brain Health Network, the Trans Canada Trail, Broadview Magazine, the Blue Cross and Ubisoft, among others.

Et oui, je parle aussi français!

Please feel free to explore some of my projects or get in touch.
