What I'm looking for

I am looking for permanent remote roles that combine my legal and AI expertise.

I am an LLB Honours graduate with over seven years of diverse experience in legal drafting, AI training, and client account management. My journey has equipped me with a unique blend of skills that bridge the gap between law and technology. I have successfully worked with global companies in remote settings, demonstrating my ability to adapt and thrive in dynamic environments.

Currently, I serve as an AI Training Specialist at Outlier, where I focus on training AI models through Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). My role involves annotating and evaluating datasets, ensuring the safety and performance of AI applications in the legal and tech sectors. Additionally, my experience as a Search Engine Analyst at Telus International has honed my research skills, allowing me to enhance the accuracy of AI search platforms for millions of users.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my commitment to excellence, whether drafting contracts as a Candidate Attorney or managing client accounts as an Inside Accounts Executive. I am passionate about leveraging my legal and AI expertise to contribute to innovative projects and drive meaningful outcomes.
