I have taught and supported undergraduate linguistics subjects at La Trobe University, and advised postgraduate researchers on quantitative analysis.
Collaborated with teaching staff to calibrate marking rubrics and align grading standards across markers; conducted academic integrity and AI-use compliance reviews, and benchmarked high-performing responses to ensure consistent evaluation.
Advised PhD researchers on quantitative analysis in R, including principal component analysis (PCA), mixed-effects modelling and Bayesian modelling.
Delivered one-to-one academic consultations for undergraduate students; clarified course concepts, supported transition to university study, and provided induction mentoring.
Led weekly tutorials as primary classroom instructor; explained key concepts, guided writing and communication exercises, and facilitated discussion. Liaised between students and the unit coordinator, contributed to the development and revision of course materials, and marked assignments with detailed written feedback aligned to learning outcomes.

Research and professional roles working directly with speech data.
Produced verbatim transcriptions of US English conversational speech data for NLP and AI training purposes; applied consistent annotation standards to ensure high-quality, deployment-ready datasets.
Reviewed and corrected transcriptions of spontaneous English speech data from immigrant communities in Toronto, ensuring transcription accuracy and consistency across naturalistic conversational data.
Annotated spontaneous and conversational speech data across multiple linguistic layers, including phonetic, morphophonological and contextual variables, for quantitative sociolinguistic analysis.
