Medical Writing

Hospitals

Montreal General Hospital~Lachine General Hospital~Queen Elizabeth Hospital
I worked as a registered nursing assistant for 14 years in three accredited institutions in Montreal. Throughout my career in nursing I served on Procedure Committees, In-service Teams, and presented case studies at Nursing Grand Rounds. The mandate for this work was to educate the nursing staff on new practices and to provide a continuing deepening of patient cases from a nursing perspective.

General Writing and Editing

L’Associazione Ricreativa Mammola
Writer, editor, publisher

L’Associazione Ricreativa Mammola is a spiritual and cultural association in Montréal made up of a group of émigrés from Mammola, Italy. They have for many years dedicated themselves to acts of charity. Simply4 was involved for five years in the annual golf tournament to raise funds for Sainte-Justine’s Hospitals Ophthalmology Unit. We wrote letters and speeches, wrote and published a beautiful booklet to be distributed at the event, and created posters. Simply4 worked pro bono for the association.

LinguiScience
Desktop publisher, English-language editor

Working closely with Sonia Gouin owner of LinguiScience, I review documents that have been translated, edit the translation and publish the documents into usable documents, instruction sheets, or user guides.

Formac Publishing
Managing Editor

___ ColourGuides: Montreal & Quebec City, 4th edition. Ed. Susan Hargrove.  Formac Publishing: Halifax, 2008
I acted as managing editor for this book for Formac Publishing. It required hiring writers to edit and update previous copy, managing their contracts, ensuring the copy met the publishing standards for the ColourGuides and reflected both cities in an appealing and informative manner. This project was produced on time and within budget.

I was employed as a copy editor for the copydesk department that was responsible for the monthly English-language Canadian issue of the Reader’s Digest Magazine. I obtained the job based on my previous writing and editing experience and my ability to start immediately and work up to speed with an experienced team of professionals.
