Description

You drive change. I drive it home in French.

You’re working to make communities healthier, more just, more sustainable, and more connected. Your work matters, and your time is limited.

You shouldn’t have to worry about whether your French communications are accurate, culturally aligned, or ready for the public. You deserve to pass the French work to someone you trust completely, and return your full attention to the change you’re here to create. That’s the partnership I offer.

I support mission‑driven organizations, small teams with big goals, and leaders who care deeply about clarity, inclusion, and impact. When you hand me your English content or bring me into your bilingual meetings, you gain a collaborator who protects your message, your values, and your reputation in French.
