What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven content writer with over 7 years of experience specializing in transcription, data annotation, and AI-driven content.

This foundation has equipped me with the skills necessary to deliver precise translations and high-quality content for diverse clients.
Throughout my freelance career, I have consistently met project requirements and deadlines, adapting to evolving client guidelines while maintaining high satisfaction rates. My recent role as an Editor at Bloomberg involved evaluating AI-generated text for accuracy and cultural relevance, where I successfully improved model output quality by 20%.
