Evelyne De Mevius

Working as a researcher, I have acquired outstanding analytical and writing skills. My concern for narrative efficiency has taught me to use language accurately to translate complex ideas into engaging arguments. My attention to detail applies to both content and form and combines with my intellectual rigour to ensure that the content conveyed is logically structured, internally consistent, and formally flawless. Furthermore, alongside a teaching activity at primary and university levels that has sharpened my customer-orientation, my experience as a lecturer in non-academic and academic settings has polished my ability to adapt my communication style and message to very diverse audiences and readerships.

I gained outstanding planning and organising skills working for the United Nations Institute for Training and Research. As the coordinator for the Multilateral Diplomacy Programme’s publications in French and English, my responsibilities included assessing, compiling, translating, editing, proofreading, laying out, publishing, and promoting reports, handbooks, and background publications. Regularly liaising with other staff and writers to ensure timely submission of inputs, diligently supervising content production and revision processes, and carefully ensuring compliance with editorial standards crucially helped me sustaining irreproachable quality standards. My recent involvement in ATD Fourth World’s advocacy and communications activities has further sharpened my content translation and editing skills in English, French, and Spanish, and nurtured my concern for stylistic continuity.

Alongside an intellectual agility that enables me to navigate detail and abstract constructs with equal ease, my inquisitive and creative personality is restlessly in quest of the most precise lexicon to clarify, and the most effective avenues to organise, present, and transmit content. My ability to anticipate and grasp expectations, to maintain high-quality work while meeting tight deadlines, and to adapt to very diverse environments allows for outstanding performance independently and as a team player.
