My Journey in Linguistics: From Major to Computational Linguist at Apple

Hey, y'all! Join me in this video to hear my story of majoring in linguistics. I'll answer some common questions about majoring in linguistics like what it was like studying linguistics at university and what can you do with a linguistic major. Bonus: I'll share my experience of working as a computational linguist with the Siri TTS team.

In my videos, I regularly share tips and tricks for learning foreign languages, especially English and French, as I am speaking and learning these languages. I also document my journey of transitioning from linguistics to software development and share the lessons I've learned while job searching and learning how to code.
