🤍 In memory of Cécile Janty-Davies 🤍

Céline and I wanted to dedicate our French Newsletter to our beloved colleague and star of the Q&A Cécile Janty-Davies, who has passed away after a long battle with cancer.
Cécile was part of the KwizIQ family from the very start (literally!). Not only was she the creator of the original papier mâché models of Kwizbot and his companion, Robetta, but many of you will also remember her thoughtful, encouraging answers on the French Q&A forum, where she helped many learners over the years by answering over 5,000 questions! Her patience, expertise and kindness touched so many people, and she will be greatly missed. 🤍
