@leorafeca
Community Operations & Trust & Safety specialist improving content quality and safety through policy enforcement and rapid audits.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Community Operations and Trust & Safety specialist with 5+ years moderating high-volume live and short-form content for major platforms. I enforce complex policies and legal requirements while keeping decision speed consistently low and outcomes consistently accurate.
Across my roles, I’ve delivered measurable quality impact—achieving 95%+ quality scores, reducing escalations by ~25%, and reviewing up to 1,500 items/day with average decision times under 30 seconds. In operations leadership, I maintained client KPIs including AHT targets and quality performance by improving issue identification and workflows.
I also drive continuous improvement through calibration and trend discovery. I lead calibration sessions, mentor and train moderators, and translate patterns I see in escalations, reports, and appeals into policy and guidance updates.
My background combines content risk awareness with audit-driven quality assurance. From daily audit sampling and quality reporting to escalation management and team training, I focus on protecting platform safety while making moderation more consistent, efficient, and scalable.
