What I'm looking for

I’m interested in applying my linguistic expertise and assessment experience to AI-generated speech evaluation, transcript review, and linguistic data annotation.

At Durham Public Schools — Rogers-Herr Middle School, I designed Spanish assessments for listening comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, and oral communication. I used structured rubrics to evaluate performance and provide consistent, actionable feedback.

At C.I.E.M. Secondary School and C.I.E.M. Kindergarten (4 - 5 yr olds) - Primary School (1st to 6th grade), I designed English assessments and adapted materials for students with different learning needs. I also developed activities and provided feedback to support language development.

My teaching experience in Argentina, the United States, and Ireland has given me a strong grounding in Argentine Spanish, pronunciation, and language acquisition. I’m interested in applying my linguistic expertise and assessment experience to AI-generated speech evaluation, transcript review, and linguistic data annotation.
