What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an opportunity combining clinical expertise with AI data annotation—ensuring accurate, safe medical outputs, consistent labeling guidelines, and measurable quality improvements across healthcare datasets.

I’m a Clinical Medicine Practitioner with a Diploma in Clinical Medicine from Kenya Medical Training College and hands-on patient care experience. I bring strong clinical assessment, patient-focused documentation, and careful attention to standards into every task I do.

In AI/technology projects, I work as an AI Training Specialist and Data Annotator, labeling and annotating diverse medical and general datasets to train LLMs and AI systems. I review AI-generated responses for accuracy, safety, and alignment with human values (RLHF), then provide structured feedback to improve model outputs across healthcare and conversational domains.

I also freelance as an Academic Health Writer, producing evidence-based academic papers, essays, and assignments with strict adherence to academic integrity and citation formats (APA, Harvard). Whether in clinical or AI environments, my focus is delivering high-quality outcomes through clear communication, teamwork, and consistent quality assurance.
