What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my accounting skills while contributing to innovative projects in a collaborative environment.

I am an accomplished and self-driven Accounting Professional with a strong background in providing meticulous financial documentation reviews and management. My expertise lies in completing analytical reviews of financial documents, researching, verifying accounts, and maintaining accurate records. I am currently seeking a position that allows me to leverage my accounting expertise and formal training to take the next step in my career.

In my recent role as a Data Annotator at Samasource AI, I specialized in labeling and categorizing datasets to support machine learning and AI development. I utilized various AI tools to ensure high-quality, structured data for training models, focusing on tasks such as image segmentation and text classification. My commitment to quality assurance and adherence to project guidelines has consistently resulted in high-quality data outputs for AI model training.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong internal controls and database management skills, along with a keen attention to detail. I have successfully formulated and implemented cost management systems that reduced organizational costs by 23%.
