From remote coastal communities to bustling city spaces, my professional journey has always centred around bridging information access with clear, effective communication.

 

With a master's degree in Library and Information Studies and a bachelor's in English, I’ve built a career that blends the precision of research with the art of impactful writing. My expertise lies in connecting people with the information they need and helping them articulate their ideas, research or business content for clarity and purpose. 

 

A fun fact: I once lived on an island in Micronesia, and worked there as a librarian in a small community college. This experience profoundly shaped my perspective and continues to influence my approach to information services, and life here in Canada. It taught me the value of cultural diversity, adaptability, resourcefulness, and the power of learning and understanding in varied contexts.

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Elaine for more than 15 years as a tenant, a friend, and most recently as a work associate.  Elaine is incredibly bright, enthusiastic and pragmatic. I find her a joy to work with as well as someone you can trust and learn from -- a rare combination. I would have absolutely no hesitation recommending her for a research project, copywriting, or editing. Lucky are those who take her skillset on for their organization."

What makes my work special is the connection I bring to each project. I understand context, offer creative problem-solving, and personalized attention that goes beyond the current capabilities of automated systems.

 

Whether you're an academic, in a non-profit or a small business, I'm dedicated to turning your information into clear, powerful communication that speaks directly to your audience.
