Currently, I work at Samasource, where I conduct extensive research on e-commerce platforms, analyze product offerings, and create compelling product descriptions to enhance customer engagement.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to professional growth by staying updated on the latest trends in AI and machine learning, which I leverage to improve annotation techniques. My previous experience as a sales person at La Belle Fashion honed my customer service skills, enabling me to effectively assist customers and resolve complaints.
