“Trëma c'est moi: Gaële Gagné. It’s also the strange accent on my first name that puzzles so many native English speakers!

I specialise in crafting clear and concise content that is uniquely targeted to its French audience.”

CULTURALLY-SENSITIVE LANGUAGE SPECIALIST

 

Binational, I have studied, lived and worked in three different countries. Seeing France with an “external point of view”, allows me to understand French culture as it resembles or differs from others. A strong asset to help you connect with your target audience.

CERTIFIED INTERNATIONAL TRADE PROFESSIONAL

 

Trained and certified in international trade, I have worked as a business and trade advisor and instructor. This experience gives me business acumen and the ability to help you deal with business challenges and opportunities as you step out on the international stage.
