It's been a while since I wrote an #introduction for folks who are #NewHere.

I'm a #queer #Catholic computational #linguist who works on #NaturalLanguageGeneration and lives in #Scotland. An #immigrant multiple times over, I was born in #SouthAfrica, grew up in the USA (in #Florida), did my PhD in #Germany, and moved here in 2019. I enjoy #VideoGames, #VideoEssays, #OpenMic nights, and #running. I happen to be #nonbinary and love #languages.
