What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote roles with international universities, schools, research institutes, or academic publishing organizations as a Research Assistant, Academic Content Assistant, Document Specialist, or Educational Content Developer.

As a Research Assistant, I designed structured questionnaires, organized variables for SPSS and Excel analysis, and prepared materials for online data collection. I also conducted literature searches and prepared research reports, summaries, and references.

At The Superior University, I built a drone-image model that detects vehicles and estimates their distance, reaching 90.67% detection accuracy. I also developed a handwritten digit recognition model that achieved 98.69% test accuracy, and built machine-learning projects for customer churn and student performance prediction.

Since 2021, I’ve worked as a freelance writer and document specialist for international clients, producing research reports, SOPs, and Health & Safety documentation. I edit technical and AI-generated drafts into publication-ready content and create Excel dashboards and PowerPoint presentations. My background also includes educational content development and classroom teaching.
