Summary
I recently completed my Master's in Computational Linguistics, with a background in English Literature. My interests lie at the intersection of language and technology, particularly in linguistic analysis, corpus linguistics, and natural language processing (NLP). Through my academic work, I have gained experience with language data, annotation, and computational methods. I am looking for opportunities where I can apply my skills, continue learning, and contribute to NLP and language technology projects.
