What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values innovation and allows for professional growth.

I am a dedicated professional with extensive experience in operations, finance, and AI development. Currently, I work as an Operations Officer and Translation Vetting Expert at Human Rights Watch, where I manage financial transactions, assist with policy implementation, and ensure the quality of translations related to International Humanitarian Law. My role has honed my analytical skills and attention to detail, allowing me to contribute effectively to human rights advocacy.

In addition to my work at HRW, I have been involved in innovative AI projects, such as the Russian Audio Data Collection Project and Project Fireweed, where I designed multilingual prompts for large language models. My background in ecology and finance, combined with my passion for technology, enables me to approach challenges from a unique perspective, ensuring that I deliver high-quality results that meet organizational goals.
