What I'm looking for

I’m seeking English UK AI content evaluation, research, and language-quality work, where I can apply my transferable skills and learn project-specific evaluation criteria and processes.

At HMRC, I review case information and supporting evidence, identify inconsistencies, and record findings accurately while applying written procedures and protecting confidential information. I also teach English online, adapting materials and feedback to learners’ needs.

In freelance proofreading and language support, I edited English-language product listings and provided English–Spanish translation and interpreting support. I create educational video content, refine scripts, review AI-generated narration with ElevenLabs, and check subtitles and captions using Descript, InShot, and YouTube Studio.
