Gly Mcme
@glymcme
Senior Virtual Assistant and data-focused translator specializing in AI training, content, and project coordination.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven, multilingual professional with a Master of Arts in Communication & Development Studies and a skill set spanning virtual assistance, AI/data training, content writing, project coordination, translation, and customer service. Fluent in English, French, and Spanish—and native in Swahili and Kalenjin—I’m built to support diverse global clients with precision and strong digital literacy.
As a Senior Virtual Assistant & Project Coordinator (Jan 2022–Present), I manage calendar scheduling, email correspondence, and travel coordination for 6+ international clients across multiple time zones. I coordinate cross-functional remote project teams using Trello, Asana, and Monday.com, deliver competitive analysis reports, draft client-facing documentation in multiple languages, administer CRMs (HubSpot, Zoho), and onboard junior virtual assistants on SOPs—while maintaining a 98% client satisfaction rating.
I also bring hands-on AI/data experience through AI Data Annotation & Labelling (Mar 2021–Dec 2021), where I labelled and quality-checked datasets across image recognition, NLP classification, audio transcription, and code review with accuracy rates above 97%. I’ve executed RLHF tasks, worked on geospatial and satellite imagery with bounding boxes and polygon masks, and completed medical DICOM image annotation under strict clinical data-handling protocols.
Alongside that, I’m a multilingual Content Writer & Proofreader (Jun 2020–Feb 2021) who creates SEO content, web copy, product descriptions, and long-form white papers (3,000–5,000 words), collaborating with designers and marketers to ship integrated campaigns. From customer service and community moderation (Aug 2019–May 2020), I reduced ticket volume by 22% using a self-service FAQ knowledge base—and I continue giving back through digital skills training and mentorship for remote work and translation careers.
