What I'm looking for

I am seeking remote, part-time freelance roles that allow me to utilize my linguistic expertise in transcription, annotation, and AI training data projects.

As a multilingual linguistic specialist with over six years of experience, I have honed my skills in audio/video transcription, annotation, and translation across various projects. My work spans remote AI-based initiatives, where I have successfully contributed to language data collection and search evaluation. I pride myself on my ability to manage complex linguistic tasks while consistently delivering high-quality results under tight deadlines.

Throughout my career, I have worked with notable organizations such as LXT.ai and TELUS International, where I focused on multilingual transcription and annotation using advanced tools like LOFT. My expertise extends to content writing, subtitling, and semantic analysis, allowing me to provide valuable insights for NLP training. I am passionate about leveraging my linguistic skills to contribute to innovative projects in the field of AI and data labeling.
