I worked with Jil during my time as automotive editor at Metro News. She is everything you would want in a freelance writer. Her copy was clean and error free, her story ideas were original, and most importantly, she always met her deadlines. Jil is the epitome of professionalism and I firmly believe that her extensive automotive knowledge would prove a worthy asset to any publication.

Jil and I worked together on dozens of articles for various magazines at Publications Rousseau (now Rousseau Automotive Communication) and she consistently delivered high-quality, interesting, and thought-provoking articles - and always on time! In addition, our translators loved working with her articles. Jil is a solid performer, and has a great personality to boot! I hope to work with her again in the future.
