Presentation

I am a research and writing professional with experience in policy analysis, technical writing, and academic research. I have worked in the public sector and research organizations, where I developed strong skills in analyzing complex information, synthesizing research, and communicating ideas clearly to different audiences.

My services include research support, report writing, editing and proofreading, content writing, and administrative assistance. I am particularly skilled at transforming complex or technical information into clear, accessible writing. I am also very much a people person and excel in customer service facing roles.

I hold a BA in English Literature and have completed graduate-level coursework in technical writing and communications. My background in government and research environments has given me strong attention to detail, critical thinking skills, and the ability to meet tight deadlines while maintaining high-quality work.

I can assist with:
• Research and literature reviews
• Editing and proofreading academic or professional writing
• Content writing and blog posts
• Technical and instructional writing
• Data entry and administrative support
• Report and document formatting

I am fluent in English, bilingual in French, and currently studying Portuguese. I enjoy learning new skills, photography, travel planning, and fitness in my free time, which also helps me bring creativity and curiosity into my work.
