Hi, I'm Harrison Smith—a recent graduate with a BA in Linguistics and a concentration in ASL-to-English interpretation. I love diving into phonetics, syntax, semantics, and discourse analysis, and I relish practical opportunities to apply linguistics as an interpreter. I'm aspiring to pursue a master's degree in sociolinguistics and am eager to combine my language skills with data science. I'm comfortable with Python and Praat, and I'm motivated to quickly learn new tools to support AI research and the development of linguistically aware models.…Hi, I'm Harrison Smith—a recent graduate with a BA in Linguistics and a concentration in ASL-to-English interpretation.
