I'm an award-winning public speaker, writer, editor and communications specialist. My work has appeared in several anthologies, almost every major newspaper in Canada, and in an independent newsweekly published by The Economist Group and distributed throughout Brussels, Strasbourg, Luxembourg and London.

Recently I published two children’s books and co-edited a volume of essays on the enhancement of Canada-EU relations. I speak five languages and am fluent in three of them, including French and Russian.
