What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply cultural-linguistic expertise to build high-quality, auditable datasets, collaborate with ML teams, and improve annotation guidelines and QA processes.

I am a detail-oriented cultural-linguistic specialist and data annotator with hands-on experience labeling text, image, and audio datasets and building culturally authentic corpora to serve machine-learning workflows.

I have created 20,000+ culturally authentic text artifacts, benchmarked LLM outputs for tone and bias, and developed a Cultural Awareness framework that improved inter-annotator clarity and reduced culturally inappropriate responses after model updates.

I collaborate closely with data scientists and ML engineers to refine guidelines, execute rigorous QA/QC processes (gold standards, sampling, error taxonomies), and deliver audit-ready datasets that improve model performance and evaluator calibration.
