What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth.

As a Machine Learning Analyst at Outlier, I leverage Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) to enhance model training processes. My commitment to ensuring that model outputs meet legal, ethical, and safety standards reflects my dedication to responsible AI development. I thrive in remote work environments, where I can apply my analytical skills to drive impactful results.

Previously, I served as an Administrative Operations Assistant and Order Coordinator at Beak & Skiff Apple Farms, where I ensured data accuracy for significant monthly invoices and inventory transfers. My role involved pushing for the continued implementation of SAP through custom SQL queries and Crystal Reports, which improved operational efficiency and decision-making for leadership. My experience in various roles, including culinary intern and operations management, has equipped me with a unique blend of skills in data analysis, strategic planning, and relationship building.

With a strong educational background, including a Master's in Sustainable Food Systems and an MBA in Business Administration, I am passionate about using my skills to contribute to innovative projects that prioritize sustainability and efficiency. I am eager to continue growing in my career while making a positive impact in the industry.
