University trained journalist with extensive experience in media, media relations, public relations, training, consulting, writing and communications management.

Successful organizations know the difference between public relations and media relations. Make the best of your skills and your resources.
Benefit from more than 20 years of training and consulting experience in media skills, public speaking, public relations and customer relations. I have worked with hundreds of clients in Canada and abroad: Fortune 500 companies, professional associations, government agencies and many others. One client is an experienced senior who seeks a refresher and / or training for junior colleagues. Another is a CEO who seeks to improve media relations skills. Whatever your needs are, you will benefit from the best experience and coaching available.

I'm an English major and I enjoy writing succinct and accessible prose. I work rapidly and am accustomed to tight deadlines.
Whether it appears in a magazine ad, on a web site, or in a TV script, good writing informs and entertains. A disciplined writer is a disciplined editor. Beyond the prose, I offer you extensive experience in scripting and producing multimedia presentations as well as designing and hosting web sites. Drop me a line for a quote.
"A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants" ("Chuckles The Clown" episode - The Mary Tyler Moore Show - circa 1970).
I have worked in live broadcast television and radio as a host and as a reporter. Off-screen duties have included writing, producing, directing and editing. I have worked for CBC TV and Radio, CTV, Global Television, TVA Montreal and as a stringer for CNBC and CNN. My radio career began in my teenage years and it has taken me to more than one dozen stations. In film, I have appeared in productions by The National Film Board and independent producers, as well as Montreal location shoots for Hollywood movies. Off-air projects have included dozens of corporate video productions for clients as diverse as airlines, pharmaceutical companies, telecommunications providers, unions, consumer product companies and at least one classified training project for a large American government agency. A list of clients is available upon request.
