What I'm looking for

I’m looking for AI training work where I can evaluate accuracy, bias, and helpfulness; write structured feedback; and maintain consistent quality at scale. I thrive with clear guidelines, strong QA loops, and teams that value data-driven iteration.

I’m an operations and project management leader with 7+ years of experience driving process management, team coordination, and data-driven decision-making. I’m transitioning into AI Training, leveraging my strengths in structured communication, quality evaluation, and analytical thinking to support high-impact model improvement.

In my current role, I lead end-to-end operations strategy with a strong focus on quality, consistency, and timely execution—mirroring AI training quality assurance workflows. I design and implement SOPs and process documentation, build structured frameworks similar to annotation guidelines, and run performance and feedback cycles like evaluating and improving AI-generated outputs.

I’m especially motivated by AI training work that requires careful judgment: assessing response accuracy and helpfulness, detecting bias (core RLHF tasks), and writing clear, structured feedback for annotation and model improvement. With a background in a medical/health research business context and cross-functional leadership, I’m committed to maintaining consistency and quality over repetitive tasks.
