Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I am a marketing and business consultant, writer, and communication expert with over 15 years of experience. My areas of expertise include communication, strategy, product management, new product development, and I am an organizer of conferences and events. I work in the medical sector (device products), in cardiology, neonatology, and pharmacy. I also work with small businesses and startups. For example, I worked with a hair salon owner to develop a communication and marketing strategy, which improved her business.

I would like to help companies and startups with their marketing, especially if you want to work with American or English-speaking companies. I am of American origin and speak English and French. I also have experience in television and film; I was a writer for a television show in the United States on the HGTV channel, I worked for Warner Bros studio in Los Angeles, and I am a photographer.
