What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my linguistic expertise in innovative projects, ideally in a collaborative environment that values quality and creativity.

I am an experienced linguistics analyst with over three years of expertise in linguistic and speech data analysis for global clients such as Google, Apple, Amazon, and Nvidia. My work primarily focuses on transcription, quality review, and NLP data annotation, where I utilize tools like Loft 2.0, CrowdCompute, and various CAT tools to deliver high-quality results.

At Telus Digital, I have successfully transcribed and reviewed speech data to enhance Google Assistant's performance. I conduct language pattern analysis to improve NLP models and lead weekly team reviews, ensuring that our data quality remains top-notch through comprehensive monthly QA reports. My projects have included significant contributions to Google Search Data Annotation, Apple US Test Collection, and Amazon US Data Engineering, where I processed large datasets for model development.
