What I'm looking for

I seek remote data-focused roles where I can apply annotation, transcription, and entry skills within a collaborative, detail-driven team, and continue learning.

I am a hard-working University of British Columbia graduate with a B.Sc. in Applied Animal Biology and practical experience in data annotation, transcription, and classification. I take pride in accuracy, attention to detail, and meeting performance standards while working independently or on a team.

In my most recent role as a Language Data Annotator I transcribed live and dictated audio, labeled and classified datasets, and collaborated with supervisors to troubleshoot technical issues. I have hands-on familiarity with tools used for AI data work and refined my data entry workflow to satisfy client guidelines.

My background includes customer service and food service roles where I developed multitasking, training, and operations skills — from leading pastry production to assisting voters and maintaining accurate records. These roles strengthened my ability to work under pressure, communicate clearly, and maintain organization.

I am enthusiastic about contributing to a team that values reliability, continuous learning, and high-quality data management. I strive to exceed expectations through strong work ethic, adaptability, and clear communication.
