What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that allow me to leverage my writing and research skills while contributing to innovative projects in AI and education.

I'm a self-motivated and independent professional with a strong background in writing and data annotation. Since September 2020, I have been working as a freelance writer and AI data annotator, where I create content tailored to client briefs, ensuring clarity and engagement through thorough research and understanding of complex topics. My work also involves utilizing SEO software to prepare content for web publication.

In addition to writing, I have contributed to AI projects as an annotator and fact-checker, particularly in the fields of Psychology and Social Sciences. My responsibilities include evaluating the relevance and helpfulness of AI model responses and conducting independent research to fact-check claims made by AI. My expertise allows me to create prompts that challenge AI responses, ensuring accuracy and reliability.

Prior to my freelance career, I served as a teaching assistant at Cardiff University, where I planned and ran seminars, graded essays, and provided one-on-one tutoring. My academic background includes a Master’s degree in Social Science Research Methods and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, both from Cardiff University, equipping me with a solid foundation in research methodologies and psychological principles.
