I'm looking to apply my Slovenian language skills and analytical background to evaluating, annotating, and improving AI-generated content.

## About

```text
At the Department of Cognitive Biology, University of Vienna, I segmented MRI brain images using FSL and coded animal behaviour from video recordings using BORIS. I also developed a developmental staging table published in Herpetology Notes.

At the University of Ljubljana, I contributed to a project on psychosocial factors associated with aggression in dogs. I conducted standardised behavioural assessments and coded observations using a predefined ethogram.

I'm currently completing an MSc in Cognitive Science after earning a BSc in Biology from the University of Ljubljana. I bring native-level Slovenian and Croatian, fluent English, and experience in manual annotation, image analysis, and quality checking against detailed guidelines.
