ABOUT ME

I'm a Conversational AI specialist with over 15 years' experience and a background in language tech, conversation design and user experience design.

I've managed phonetic lexicon projects at Appen (leading global provider of AI training data), and I’ve designed IVRs, chatbot and smart speaker applications.

I studied languages and linguistics at university, and I'm also a founding ambassador for Women in Voice Australia & New Zealand.
