Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Rachel
With a PhD in French and Francophone Studies from Northwestern University, I am now dedicated to the advocacy and awareness-raising efforts of human rights organizations in France and the United States.
As a native English speaker and perfectly bilingual in French, I left the world of academic publishing to work as a French interpreter for exiled individuals and asylum seekers in a foreign country.
My writing and linguistic skills, general knowledge, and diverse experiences in academic and associative settings enable me to write on numerous subjects and work on various types of current editorial projects (blog posts, website content, press kits, newspapers, magazines, reports).
Creative, curious, and conscientious, I particularly enjoy working on projects that have a positive impact on our society. I look forward to collaborating with you on yours soon!
