Chloe Pariset
Librarian
After studying Communication and librarianship in France, I spent a year in Germany taking part in the European Voluntary Service (EVS), working with teenagers in an after-school club. A keen traveller, I have visited many countries in Europe and Asia before settling in England, where I spent three years working as a librarian in a secondary school in South West London.
I enjoy working with all sort of people as much as I like promoting reading. An avid reader, I am as keen to spend time talking about books to teenagers as I am to read to younger children. Very efficient and organised, I have been managing a school library for three years and have a successful record of authors' visits and other school events (creative writing, competitions, reading groups...).
After six months traveling on my own in India, I am now back in Lyon (France) where I am looking for librarian positions in public or private institutions.
I am also available for freelance writing work- I write mainly travel stories and articles. Please feel free to contact me to find out more!
83 contacts2011 - 2011After three years working as a school librarian, I decided to leave my job to indulge in a long-term dream: discovering India on my own via its yoga schools and rural villages. I went from villages to villages, staying with locals or in ashrams, volunteering with tribal children and documented the trip with articles and photographs.
