What I'm looking for

I seek a role using my translation, editing and corpus-research skills in an academic or professional setting with collaborative, research-focused opportunities.

I am an English language specialist with strong academic training and substantial experience in translation, proofreading, editing, corpus linguistics and applied linguistic research. I combine analytical rigour with intercultural communication, NLP familiarity, and proven experience preparing and presenting research at conferences.

My work includes translating apps and texts into multiple languages, student teaching and practicum experience, participation in international corpus projects, and publications and presentations on topics such as AI in language teaching, scalar implicatures, and corpus-based literary studies.
