Research

I work on Yoruba oral poetry and test whether speech models trained on multilingual audio can segment praise performances. I am currently building a small annotated corpus with community collaborators.

Before CS research

I studied linguistics and spent two years teaching secondary school before starting my master's.

Current fields

• Speech processing
• Language documentation

Other fields

• Linguistics
• Community archiving

The value of these perspectives

Fieldwork and teaching experience shape how I involve speakers in decisions about their own recordings.
