PROFILE A native of Western Quebec and fully bilingual, I was educated in Quebec and Ontario. In 1981, upon completion of the two-year Creative Advertising program at Algonquin College of Applied Arts in Nepean, Ontario, I became senior account coordinator at Ottawa's largest advertising agency (Interact Communications Inc). In 1985, I was hired by the national capital's oldest and most renowned full-service public communications firm (John Doherty & Company Inc) after having successfully negotiated my first 'contract' as a freelance communications consultant. Then, in 1988, a 'bad' merger (with another local communications firm) inevitably lead to the dissolution of both companies. That is how, when and why -  in my desperate desire to provide continuity to the dozens of clients I had been servicing - I decided to start a "home-based business". The rest - as they say - is history! A home-office pioneer and seasoned professional communications consultant, I specialize in  traditional print materials (design, concept, research, writing, editing and proofreading) as well as creating and designing web content, drawing extensively on my marketing, public & media relations and special event management background. I have had the opportunity to apply my creative communications skills successfully throughout my career...locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.
