I am a professional journalist since 2003, working for the press group Vers l'Avenir in Belgium. I'm working for two local editions called The Courier and Le Courrier de l'Escaut, in the area of Western Hainaut (French-speaking Belgium). Graduated in 2003 (bachelor in comminucation), I had the opportunity to get a contract in the company Vers l'Avenir. I have actively contributed to the creation, in 2003, of a new regional edition, Le Courrier. Since almost five years, the media is progressing in the area of the Belgian cities of Mouscron, Estaimpuis, Comines, Tournai and Lille (France) as well. http://www.actu24.be

I'm also teaching journalism, advanced French and writing skills to students in communication (level: bachelor) in Belgium. Activity started in 2004.

By the way, I feel a passion for Japanese culture since ten years. I created in 2007 an agency devoted to promotion of Japanese artists, called Râmen Events (production, co-production, booking, communication, promotion, label). Informations on http://www.myspace.com/ramenevents
