What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build on my academic work through postgraduate research and contribute to the rapid development of AI tools, particularly through my experience in linguistics, discourse analysis, teaching, and multilingual AI annotation.

I'm a Lecturer of English Linguistics at Linnaeus University, teaching language proficiency, linguistics, academic writing, language history, discourse analysis, language for specific purposes, and sociolinguistics. I plan lectures and seminars, assess examinations, supervise students, and manage course administration.

I've also worked as a Research Assistant and freelance AI annotator across Outlier, DataAnnotation, Invisible, and Alignerr. My MA research used corpus-assisted feminist critical discourse analysis, and I co-authored a Nordic Journal of English Studies article.
