What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can combine interpreting and speech-data annotation—working with multi-accent, noisy audio to produce accurate transcripts, subtitles, and AI-ready datasets in a collaborative, quality-focused team.

I’m an interpreter and speech data specialist with three years of experience across conference consecutive interpreting, real-time transcription, and post-event subtitle translation. I’m especially careful with accents, prosody, and difficult audio conditions, so the meaning stays intact—from first listen to final deliverable.

I also focus on AI-ready speech data: I’m adept at accurate audio annotation for speech dataset development, including speech data quality control and operational workflows. Alongside hands-on annotation work, I’ve supported research using eye-tracking and BCI interpreting experiments, and I’ve evaluated AI translation output quality with GPT-4-based news E-C translation research—so I bring both linguistic precision and data-minded rigor to every project.
