Hi there!
I’m Jen, born in France, raised across North America and Europe.
I hold a bachelor's in Languages and Publishing, a master's in Multimedia Communication, a second master’s in Psychology, and a Ph.D. in Digital Communication.
As a native polyglot and multidisciplinary professional with experience in integrated marketing, content production, multilingual content communications, and research, I bring a unique blend of creativity and analytical expertise.
Outside of academia and professional work, I express myself through art, having written my first song at age ten and embracing photography as a way to connect with the world.

Brands I’ve worked with
Experienced across diverse clients and industries, I pride myself on adaptability and a commitment to delivering exceptional results.
Below are some of the incredible companies and brands I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with over the years.
What I bring to the table
-
Translations, Editing & SEO
With a background in English, French, and Portuguese, I ensure messages resonate across cultures. I also leverage keyword research to optimise content and boost visibility.
-

Creating engaging content is the core of my expertise. From scriptwriting to editing and shaping stories, I focus on delivering content that captivates audiences and brings ideas to life.
-

Research and Data Analysis
Qualitative and quantitative research is my jam. I present actionable data without the fluff and with a focus on evidence-based, goal-driven strategies.
Beyond the resume
So, what makes me a unique candidate?
My career has given me the experience and expertise to adapt to the ever-evolving demands of the market. As a self-proclaimed citizen of the world, my deep understanding of cultural and linguistic diversity amplifies my specialisation.
And here's the big one: I want to show you that I’m better than AI. Yes, I’m going there.
I want to show AI that they’ve got nothing on a real human.
Sure, AI has infinite knowledge and the ability to constantly learn, but…
Can it deliver charisma? No.
Can it offer empathy? No.
And, more importantly: does it possess the intrinsic motivation to chase dreams?
I don’t think so.
See this girl?
She’s been fascinated by digital communications since she first laid eyes on a big, boxy desktop in the 90s. She’s been asking “why” since she learned the word. More than a creative professional, she’s a passionate human eager to share what she’s learned, expand her knowledge, and take on a challenge.
Not convinced, yet curious to know more?
Shoot me an email, and I'll tell you all about it.
