What I'm looking for

I seek data-focused roles that leverage my annotation and QA experience or multidisciplinary positions combining pharmacy expertise with data work, in collaborative, accuracy-driven teams.

I am a licensed pharmacist with six years of community practice and two years in academia, combining clinical patient care, medication management, and teaching experience. I have delivered pharmacy services including patient counseling, prescription review, and drug safety oversight.

Alongside clinical work, I bring five years of freelancing in data annotation and evaluation across image, video, Q&A, and search tasks for multiple providers, developing strong analytical accuracy and familiarity with AI/ML data processes.

I am exploring opportunities in the data field while remaining open to roles that leverage multidisciplinary healthcare and data skills, and I prioritize collaboration, clear communication, and accuracy in my work.
