Hear it from my clients:

“A true wizard of words, Valérie has been a strategic asset for our organizations’ communications.… she excels at finding the right words to get key messages across with clarity, meaning and impact. Her professionalism, diligence and sensitivity make her a treasured employee, and I recommend her without reservation.”

Pierre Gaudreault

Aventure Écotourisme Québec, Parcs régionaux du Québec

“After fifteen years of living abroad, I had gotten used to working exclusively in English. Whenever I tried writing in French, the result felt clunky and riddled with anglicisms. So I decided to write my content in English and trust Valérie to handle the translation. The result is flawless — she captures my ideas even better than I could have myself!”

Christine Germain

Motion Exploration

“I've worked with her on several occasions and have always appreciated her attention to detail. On top of being thorough and efficient, she stays true to her commitments and consistently delivers on time. Working with her is always a pleasure.”

Maryse Tremblay

Pesca Environnement

My name is Valérie.

The French language and the outdoors are what I live for.

I love the richness, complexity and infinite possibilities of the French language. After studying in communications, I worked for nearly 20 years as a writer, editor and translator in the nonprofit, commercial and political sectors. As an outdoor enthusiast, I have also studied in adventure tourism and worked in this field, both as a travel guide and a communications manager. You can tell me all about rock climbing, sea kayaking or trail running, gear, remote first aid or risk management—that’s where I’m in my element! Today, I’m exactly where I belong as a language specialist in tourism, the outdoors and sports.
