What led you to the language industry and your current position?

From a young age, I’ve always had a deep passion for languages and translation. Even during my school years, I was constantly fascinated by how languages work and how meaning can be conveyed across different cultures. Alongside this, I developed a strong interest in technology and the potential it has to automate repetitive tasks, making processes more efficient. The emergence of artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI, provided the perfect opportunity for me to blend these two passions. So, after being a freelance translator and then an in-house Lead Linguist for a few years, I recently switched to the AI Language Specialist role.

What do you enjoy most about your work?

When I was still a linguist, what I enjoyed most was being part of an industry that plays a crucial role in breaking down language barriers and facilitating communication across different cultures. In my new role, I still find great satisfaction in contributing to global communication, but I also love the challenge of bridging the gap between human creativity and the efficiency of AI-driven tools. This new role allows me to combine my linguistic expertise with cutting-edge technology, making the work both dynamic and deeply rewarding.
