Interviews are fun. They are a great way for me to share who I am and what I know with different audiences.

Sian Phillips, of Tweak Your Biz, and I met online about a year ago. I have grown to respect her immensely, both as a pro and a friend. She has a knack for always asking the right questions.

In the interview, I talk about how I learnt English and got into the social media scene, and share some blogging tips.

Here is an extract:

You are French born but now reside in Canada – how did that come about and when did you move?

At the beginning of 2003, after almost six years of university, I needed a change of scenery. I wanted to travel and experience new cultures.

My best friend, who is Canadian, was a few months away from leaving France, where she had spent an entire year. She mentioned that Canada would be a good start for me and offered to accommodate me if need be.

I was only supposed to stay there for a few months. However, within a few days of my landing in Winnipeg, Manitoba, I knew I had found a new home. I have never looked back since then.

What is your background relating to Journalism and writing?

I am a former English major and hold a bachelor’s degree in English to French translation. My favourite subjects were linguistics and phonetics.

I had no real background in journalism when I started in 2010. But, it worked out well because I have an inquisitive mind and love doing research. Plus, I enjoy unbiased reporting.
