What I'm looking for

I’m looking to apply my linguistics and AI evaluation skills to help build high-quality AI language-learning systems by creating rubrics/prompts and validating outputs with accuracy, clarity, and consistency.

I’m Embla, a linguistics graduate with an MA in general linguistics from the University of Amsterdam, specializing in language acquisition and disorders.

My studies covered core areas like morphology, phonology, and syntax, and I built practical experience through annotation and coding linguistics data while using tools such as Praat and R for language analysis.

More recently, I’ve been working as a freelancer making rubrics and prompts for AI, and evaluating the quality and correctness of the AI output—so I can contribute accurate, reliable language data.

I also bring communication and language-pronunciation strengths from voice acting and strong Norwegian fluency (including the Oslo dialect and Nynorsk), plus experience as a kindergarten teaching assistant and a customer relations & sales ambassador.
