Khalie Shields
@khalieshields
I evaluate AI and language content, build rubrics, and deliver human-led quality assurance.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've built and quality-reviewed approximately 960 curriculum-aligned discussion tasks for Diplomatic Language Services, using AI-assisted workflows while independently validating accuracy, tone, accessibility, and instructional quality.
I evaluate written and spoken language outputs, design scoring rubrics and diagnostic frameworks, and turn detailed evidence into targeted feedback and placement recommendations. My work spans educational, corporate, government, and military contexts.
At Beacon Red, I designed 10 publication-ready English courses and assessed adult professionals, including 60 government-school principals and vice principals. I work closely with stakeholders and subject-matter contributors to clarify requirements and create accurate, audience-appropriate content.
With an MA in TESOL and a BA in English Language & Literature, I bring multilingual-learner expertise to AI evaluation, assessment quality, source verification, prompt refinement, and content QA.
