In 1994, I took up a position at the United Nations Secretariat as one laureate of an international competitive
exam for French-language verbatim reporters.

Assembly meetings.
In 2004, I joined the Official Records Editing Section where I ensured that the French text of UN resolutions
and decisions was faithful to the original - usually English - version.

As a retiree, I am involved in numerous volunteer activities – as a member of charities helping seniors (in NYC)
or female students (in Burkina Faso), and of ‘Editors Canada’.
I enjoy cinema as well as a wide range of musical genres, and I am interested in historical figures through their
biographies.
My favorite travel destinations remain the East Coast [in the US] and…Paris."
