What I'm looking for

I seek roles evaluating and improving translations (especially AI-assisted) in collaborative, research-driven teams that value linguistic accuracy, cultural sensitivity, and career growth.

I am an experienced linguist and Ph.D. researcher in Language, Culture, and World Civilization with native proficiency in Yoruba and full professional proficiency in English and Chinese. I have a strong record translating, proofreading, editing, and semantically evaluating content across languages, and I apply rigorous editorial standards to ensure cultural relevance and accuracy.

My work spans editorial assistance, multimedia content creation, and bilingual content management, with demonstrated impact such as increasing engagement and international participation. I am excited to apply my analytical skills to evaluate AI-generated translations and develop high-quality machine translation solutions for low-resource languages like Yoruba.
