Born in Versailles and raised in Paris, Véronique graduated from Paris-III Sorbonne Nouvelle (B.A. in English/M.A. in American Studies) while working for an American Junior Year Abroad Program in Paris. She went on to teach French Culture and Cinema at Tufts University and Boston University for 15 years. She graduated from the School of Communications at Boston University (M.S. in Advertising & Public Relations). Shortly after graduating from UCLA with a Certificate in Film Distribution & Marketing, she worked for several film distribution companies. In 2004, she founded her own film distribution company, Casque d'or films. In 2008, she wrote and directed an animated short film that premiered at the AFI Film Festival in Los Angeles. In 2010, she wrote and directed an animated short series entitled THE QUEER PET ADVENTURES. Both titles screened at many film festivals worldwide and are currently distributed in French and German territories. Since settling in Los Angeles, she has also worked as a French Instructor at the Beverly Hills Lingual Institute and has taught language seminars at the Alliance Française of Los Angeles. Her first published novel, written in French, is entitled, The Parisian Adventures of Kimberly. It is a French Reader, a novel intended to help intermediate learners of French to review the language in an entertaining and relaxed way. The book is part of a three-book set, composed of the novel written in French, the Activity Book that includes a wide variety of French vocabulary practice exercises, and the Answer key that provides answers to all the exercises. Véronique just completed her second French Reader entitled Treasure in Occitania. She is also working on two other novels and two English to French Translation Workbooks for intermediate and advanced learners of French. Besides writing, she is currently training as a baker and pastry chef.
