Welcome to my website

a professional overview with a personal touch

I am a communications specialist who offers freelance writing, editing, research and other communication services on a contract basis. I have published a range of writing, including fiction. I work with media and facilitate community and public engagement. I also do project development, proposal writing and project management.

I am knowledgeable about environment, international development, social and media issues. I am based in Montréal. I have also worked in Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver. Internationally, I have worked in India, South Asia and Tanzania.

My diverse skills led to teaching Urban Politics and Development for an innovative Urban Studies program in Winter 2010. We travelled to Vietnam, South Africa and Brazil. Read about it on my blog.

A few examples of my work:

• Why don't you start a reading club? – an opinion editorial for a newspaper
• From caterpillar to butterfly – an article on a women's health issue
• Roots and Shoots – an urban agriculture project that engaged ethnic communities
• Don't slip and fall on the HIV Road - a popular publication to promote dialogue on HIV/AIDS - extracts from the storybook (in Kiswahili) and the script (in English)
• Love walk - a website promoting an Indian and Canadian campaign for land rights
