I’m an AI Language Specialist and news editor who delivers accurate, high-quality content under deadlines.
What I'm looking for
I’m an AI Language Specialist, journalist, and news editor with 20+ years of experience in media and editorial work. I build high-quality written content while verifying information and maintaining editorial standards under tight deadlines.
I’ve directed editorial operations and led teams of journalists and editors, overseeing story assignment, coverage coordination, and newsroom priorities. I’m known for accuracy, readability, attention to detail, and keeping quality high when timelines are fast and stakes are real.
Most recently, I’ve supported remote content work as a freelance news producer—researching, fact-checking, writing, editing, and reviewing articles before publication while coordinating editorial workflows. I’m now seeking remote opportunities in AI language training, content review, data annotation, editorial operations, and quality assurance.
