Client Testimonials

I enlisted Jen's services in writing a speech, a business course and a book to accompany it. Jen collaborates well and she always kept me informed of her progress via phone, email, and face-to-face meetings. She was an excellent sounding board for my ideas, and knew how to take them, research them and execute them in vibrant and articulate ways. After this first project experience with Jen, I am happy to say I would hire her again for my next business projects.

Mary Pat Blake, MBA, Founder and Chief Consultant, Blake Strategic Consulting

Jen has been a travel writer for EuropeUpClose.com for the past year and is considered to be one of our most effective, professional contributors. Jen's strong academic background in European history, art and culture, combined with her extensive European travel, provides her with insights and information that are enthusiastically conveyed to the reader. Her excellent writing skills and well-developed writing style leaves readers informed, inspired and satisfied.

Terri Fogarty, Publisher, EuropeUpClose.com

Jen did a great job of editing my forthcoming book, The History of Greed.  Her work was praised by both my agent and my publisher (Wiley). She was a pleasure to work with and I hope to use her services again soon.

David E.Y. Sarna, Author and Managing Director, Hendon, Stamford, Hill and Co., Inc.

Jen is superstar –– that is literally what we called her in our department, practically the same day she arrived to help us with a monumental guidebooks project. In our time-pressed environment, as she took on editorial tasks for a guidebook to Paris, Jen quickly proved to be a truly bright, conscientious and creative professional, and she turned her assignments around with lightning speed. I would recommend Jen for any editorial assignment or position without hesitation.

Susan Derby, Director of Public Relations and Communications, Managing Editor of Publications, VirtualTourist.com

Jen Bouchard is a phenomenally efficient and patient translator and writer who works very well with those around her. I strongly encourage anyone who needs translation or writing help/advice/work to work with her.

Magee McIlvaine, Nomadic Wax/Sol Productions

Jen Bouchard provided me with excellent translations. She always met deadlines, and her dedication to the project was a constant reassurance. I would enjoy working with her again and would encourage others to do so as well.

John Menick, Artist, Filmmaker and Writer

Jen was fast, fluent and friendly! She helped us out with a film project on very short notice. Eager and efficient. I highly recommend her for all your translation needs.

Lisa Cole, Filmmaker

Working with Jen to learn French has been a delightful experience for me.  Her masterful comprehension of the French language, combined with her practical experience living in several French-speaking cultures, enables her to deliver engaging lessons from a variety of angles.

Pete Baker, Vice President of Sales, Remote Technologies, Inc.

Jen has provided excellent, quality work and services. The details of my project were skillfully accomplished and the work was completed before the estimated deadline. I will definitely use her assistance again!

Marina Stallworth, Creator of Sew Cute Studios

Jen Bouchard both edited and generated fantastic copy for my website. I couldn’t believe how efficient she was.  I would recommend her services to anyone.

Robert S. Giuliani, Private Chef and Founder of A Cook 4 U

Jen is very professional. She edited my research proposal and I was very satisfied with her work.  She was quick and careful about details. Looking for editors for academic papers is challenging, which is why I am happy I found Jen.

Satomi Shinde, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Education, University of Wisconsin- River Falls

From basic French grammar to the political and social nuances- and etymology!- of a single word, Jen provides instruction of extraordinary breadth and depth. She is unflaggingly enthusiastic and profoundly patient, and she adjusts her teaching style to suit each student's optimal learning style. By playing to a student's strengths, she can give a shy, tentative student of language, like me, great confidence in only a few lessons. It's rare to find in such a serious and well-regarded scholar such warmth, humor and excitement about teaching. I look forward to our every lesson.

Ashley Shelby Benites, MFA, Writer, Editor, Teacher and Founder of Mill City Writers' Workshop and Book of Moons Literary Services

Jen captured the essence of my project without having to ask too many questions. I would recommend her to anyone.

Simone Parker, Motivational Speaker and Creator of Acronology

Working with Jen was easy and she was professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing her services. 

Don Mirra, Freelance Photographer

Jen translated and recorded a voice-over track for an instructional video we created. The project was under a time constraint and Jen was able and willing to help us out in a hurry. Thanks to her hard work, our project was completed in high quality and on time. I would recommend her services to anyone.

Andy Wicks, Graduate Student, University of Minnesota Physical Therapy Program

I have known Jen since 2007. She has been a Contributing Writer with Global Woman Magazine since then. Jen is sincere, prompt with responses to requests and assignments and always produces excellent editorials for the magazine. I would hire Jen as a full-time staff writer if I could. I highly recommend her and her services to any organization. Jen is also fluent in other languages. I am proud to have her as part of Global Woman Magazine.
