STURGEON AT AGENT IQ

PhD alum Anne Sturgeon (2006) sends us the following update:

After graduating with my Ph.D. in theoretical syntax in 2006, I entered industry — first search technology at H5 and then voice recognition for the Bay Area’s 511 system. Last February (2019), I joined a Financial Tech start up called Agent IQ as a software project manager and linguist. We develop chat platforms for banks. I have been working on various AI initiatives, including automated chat. The job has been a great fit for me! I enjoy working with the small team (14 person company); things move fast and I am able to contribute to all kinds of initiatives at the company. On the home front, I live in Oakland with my husband and 2 kids (ages 7 and 11). I’m always happy to talk to current and past UCSC linguistics grad students about going into industry!
