Jeanne Bonner’s Summary
I'm a writing professional with overseas work experience. I'm comfortable working with a diverse range of people.
I'm at ease covering difficult business topics, and have experience writing about such diverse industries as residential real estate, semiconductors and automotive suppliers.
I'm also accustomed to writing for an audience that knows the topic better than I do. While professionally I have written about business, finance and economic development, I'm an avid foodie and lover of wine in my personal life.
Jeanne Bonner’s Specialties:
Business reporting.
Translation.
