About Jessie

Giving a voice to memories, weaving connections between generations, capturing the essence of a journey. This is what drives me every day in my profession as a biographer.

My journey began in the Parisian whirlwind. For 15 years, I was a journalist for various media outlets, including Le Nouvel Obs, L'Express, Le Parisien, and Le Quotidien du Médecin.

Then, I decided to change course. Normandy, with its orchards, near Honfleur, became my new home port. Here, I continued to practice my profession as a journalist while exploring a new passion: biography.


Training for this profession was a true revelation. Now, I write life stories with passion, guided by attentive listening and the authentic emotion of each story. This new path has allowed me to combine my journalistic experience with a deep desire to preserve and transmit personal stories. Because I am convinced that every life deserves a book. Isn't this the most beautiful legacy to leave to our loved ones?


Today, I put my writing experience at the service of your story. Whether you wish to:
Offer your loved ones the priceless gift of a family biography
Immortalize the inspiring journey of your company
Pay tribute to a loved one
Or simply leave a tangible trace of your existence
I am here to accompany you on this literary and human adventure.

Ready to bring your memories to life and create a literary legacy? Contact me, and together, we will weave the story of your life.
