## About

```text
At the Government of Canada, I analyze and process passport applications, make decisions based on established procedures, and provide bilingual customer service. I also conduct investigations and collaborate with other government departments.

With the National Network of Rural Women in Senegal (RNFRS), I coordinated projects and partnerships supporting rural women's empowerment initiatives. I also managed development of the organization's website, LinkedIn page, and communication materials.

At Mercor, I evaluated AI-generated content and annotated data to support AI model training and quality. My work also included evaluating French-speaking talent and checking linguistic accuracy and cultural relevance.
