What I'm looking for

I seek interdisciplinary NLP or digital humanities roles that use my corpus, annotation, and programming skills, in collaborative teams focused on language-technology research and real-world localization projects.

I am an MA Computational Linguist with a dual background in English Linguistics and Computer Programming, experienced in NLP, corpus analysis, transcription, and data annotation. I have completed applied projects annotating linguistic datasets, performing corpus analyses using R and Python, and working on multilingual transcription and localisation for LinkedIn texts.

I combine hands-on programming skills (Python, R, C++, C#, SQL) with linguistic expertise in syntax, semantics, discourse, phonology, and localization, and I have taught English while developing instructional materials. I seek interdisciplinary roles that bridge Digital Humanities, Natural Language Processing, and language-technology research.
