Get to know me
You can find me writing up a storm, learning something new, or both. I have had the great fortune of working on some truly inspiring projects while networking with many influential and inspirational individuals along the way. (I also like a good alliteration.)
​
Between my Bachelor of Arts (double major Political Science and French) and Diploma in public relations, I love writing - not just any type of writing - turning words into images. Turning the boring into the brilliant, or telling a story, my writing brings voice and fact. French translation is both a hobby and a passion, learning about the client/their needs and deciphering how to convey words between two cultures. My other passion is editing and photography. I'm not one to toot my own horn, but I've learned my way around photoshop, Indesign, iMovie and Canva.
​
​When I'm not busy planning my next adventure, I'm working on my translation business, attending events or developing my photography skills.
