Hi, nice to meet you!

I’m Jennifer Hachiya, born in France and raised across North America and Europe.

Driven by a passion for continuous learning, I am dedicated to producing meaningful work and fostering positive change.

I hold a bachelor's in Languages and Publishing, a master's in Digital Communication, and a PhD in Digital Health Communication.

My academic research specialised in the influence of online communities and the impact of advertising on specific populations.

Beyond academics, I express my creativity through art, writing my first song at age ten and embracing photography as a lifelong means of connecting with the world.

So, what makes me a unique candidate?

The experience and expertise I have in my profession have provided me with exceptional preparation for the current demands of this work field. I was born and raised in four different countries, and I'm a native polyglot - of French, English, and Portuguese. This unconventional life experience has provided me with a solid grasp and understanding of the social and cultural communication divergence and languages I specialise in.

Passionate, ambitious, and proactive, I enjoy challenges and seizing opportunities that allow me to share and expand my knowledge. This is what motivates me to embark on the greatest ambition of all: I want to show you that I am better than AI. Yes. I want to show AI that they’ve got nothing on a real human.

Sure, AI has infinite knowledge and continuous learning capabilities. But do they have charisma? No. Do they have empathy? No. And more importantly, do they have two cats to feed, a family to raise, and legitimate dreams to chase? No. They don’t.

Not convinced, yet curious to know more?
Shoot me an email, and I'll tell you all about it.

See this girl?

She’s been fascinated with digital communications since the first time she set eyes on a big, boxy desktop 90s computer. She’s been asking “why” questions since she’s learned the word. More than a digital communications specialist, or a research scientist, she became a passionate human who is eager to share what she has learned so far, progress her knowledge, and be faced with a good challenge.

So, ready to do this? Let’s connect.

I look forward to hearing from you.
