I have been editing, writing and project managing for several Quebec-based educational publishers since 2007. Work has included editing and writing original text including stories, quizzes and lessons; helping develop book design; project managing book production including managing teams of writers and translators.
I founded Friends of Hutchison in 2011, a groundbreaking community group, and was campaign manager for Projet Montréal for the 2013 election. I have sat on the boards of the Quebec Community Groups Network and Action cancer du sein du Québec. I am currently the Quebec rep for the Writer's Union of Canada.
