Richelle is a translator
She is a writer, wordsmith, content creator, journalist, and communications consultant. But what she actually does is translate ideas into the right words.
She listens, questions, probes and then translates her clients’ messages into the words their audiences will hear, understand, and remember.
She translates ideas, concepts, emotions, and technical problems, into words that bring clarity and action.
She is a storyteller. From our early childhood throughout our entire lives, stories compel, intrigue, teach, motivate, move and devastate us. Richelle writes news stories and feature articles, corporate stories, personal stories, event stories, and fictional ones which are laced with truth.
She is a freelance journalist, researcher and writer with news, op-eds and feature articles published in major media outlets including the Calgary Herald, Hamilton Spectator, Troy Media, Alberta Oil Magazine, Saskatchewan Woman, Law Now, Journal of Communications, and others.
