Seattle, Washington, United States
I have almost a decade of experience in teaching, curriculum design, and research. At the University of Washington, I designed and taught popular courses on writing, film, and literature, and worked closely with other faculty to develop engaging and accessible learning content. I am passionate about learning, researching new subjects, and coming up with engaging and creative ways of conveying complex information to diverse audiences. In addition to teaching and curriculum development, I have experience in translation and localization in diverse fields, from technology and higher education to TV production as well as experience in evaluation of machine/AI-generated translation and data annotation. I greatly value collaboration, and appreciate every opportunity to learn from others and make a strong contribution to every project I am involved in.
