Freelance forensic linguist Experienced educational policy advisor and curriculum developer

Antigua and Barbuda

What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my linguistic expertise in policy development and education.

I am a dedicated freelance forensic linguist with a strong background in applied linguistics and policy advising. Currently, I am pursuing my PhD in Forensic Linguistics, which allows me to deepen my understanding and application of linguistic principles in legal contexts. My journey began with a bachelor’s, followed by a Master's in Linguistics from Utrecht University, where I honed my skills in language analysis and its implications in various fields.

In my previous role as a Senior Policy Advisor in special needs education at Koraal, I successfully developed and implemented policies that significantly improved educational outcomes for students with special needs. My experience as a Policy Advisor in higher education has equipped me with the skills to navigate complex educational landscapes and advocate for effective policy changes. I have also served as a subject matter expert, contributing to the development of educational programs that align with current linguistic research and practices.
