What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote projects where accuracy and deadlines matter—focused on data annotation, linguistic labeling, transcription, and reliable administrative support, with clear guidelines, prompt communication, and measurable quality expectations.

I’m a freelance data annotator and language specialist with a background in Linguistics from Mount Kenya University. I provide high-quality remote services like data annotation, content writing, transcription, and virtual assistance—built on strict deadline adherence and careful attention to detail.

Since 2023, I’ve collaborated with global AI development teams to label and categorize large-scale linguistic datasets, including sentiment analysis and intent classification to improve chatbot responsiveness. I also transcribe English and Swahili audio files with 99% accuracy, while managing multiple client projects and maintaining a 5-star performance rating; earlier, I supported clients with email management, scheduling, SEO-friendly article writing, and data cleaning using Excel and Google Sheets.
