Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

A professional journalist since 1991, I work in radio, television, and audiovisual communication.

During my career, I have produced several thousand reports, interviews, and presentations, in both general news and sports, which is one of my specialties.

My experience now allows me to support companies, local authorities, associations, training organizations, and event organizers in their communication and public speaking projects.

I intervene in particular for:

• Hosting and presenting events, conferences, and round tables

• Producing and conducting interviews

• Presenting audiovisual and corporate content

• Field reporting

• Podcasts and audio content

• Voice-over services

• Training in journalism, interview techniques, and public speaking

Accustomed to live broadcasts, managing discussions, and highlighting speakers, I know how to create a climate of trust that encourages natural and authentic public speaking.

Based in the Gard region and mobile throughout France.

Above all, a field journalist, I put my experience at the service of stories, projects, and people who deserve to be highlighted.

Speaker – Training in media, interviewing, and content creation

With over forty years of experience in radio, television, and field journalism, I work with schools, community centers, associations, local authorities, training organizations, and any structure wishing to develop media and communication projects.

My sessions can cover discovering the journalism profession, interview techniques, preparing a report, public speaking, on-camera performance, media and information literacy, as well as learning the basics of audio and video content creation.

I also assist beginner or amateur audiences who want to learn how to conduct interviews, construct a report, tell a story with images, or develop content for social media, a YouTube channel, a podcast, or an association's media outlet.

My approach emphasizes practice, role-playing, and sharing real-world experiences to impart practical, accessible, and immediately applicable tools.

Each session is tailored to the age, level, and objectives of the participants.
