What I'm looking for

I’m looking to apply my bilingual linguistic and audio expertise to evaluate and refine multilingual AI—through rigorous audits, accurate transcription, and conversational performance testing—while contributing to natural, culturally fluent voice interactions.

I’m an analytical bilingual professional and linguistic specialist with extensive experience providing high-quality language and audio data for AI and enterprise systems. With a BA in English and advanced cognitive science training through a BA in Psychology, I bring deep understanding of syntax, semantics, phonetics, and human expression to modeling natural spoken interactions.

Through my work with Appen, Translated, and TELUS Digital, I deliver rigorous linguistic audits, audio data annotation, terminology consistency, and cross-cultural communication—bridging complex native Vietnamese nuances with technical AI frameworks. I’m also hands-on with audio transcription, conversational performance testing, factuality and auditory judgment, and language model evaluation for voice interactions, while staying highly detail-oriented and strict about data confidentiality.
