I’m Jo-Ann Howell and I use my education, language skills and experiences over the last fifteen years living in France to help English speaking residents understand their administrative obligations as property owners, employees, independent professionals, retirees and families, giving them peace of mind so they can concentrate on enjoying life in France.
I graduated from Southampton University (UK) with a Bachelors degree in Maths and French and then a Masters degree in Operational Research before moving to France. In the French Alps I worked as a bilingual receptionist for the Ecole de Ski Français for 3 three years, whilst also being on call as an interpreter for the local Police.
From Savoie, my husband and I moved to the south coast, where I have held a number of positions, from PA to renovation site management, but where more importantly I have fully experienced life in France – including buying and selling property and vehicles, employment, self-employment, unemployment, and the health system to its fullest extent.
