What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values precision and offers opportunities for growth in content moderation and virtual assistance.

I am a detail-oriented and dependable virtual assistant and content moderator with strong proficiency in both Swahili and English. My experience includes supporting remote AI projects, where I have developed a track record of high-accuracy data annotation, transcription, and moderation. I am passionate about ensuring online content integrity and assisting teams through empathy, precision, and digital know-how.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in content moderation, where I review, tag, and refine AI-generated text and flagged data. My attention to detail allows me to maintain high standards in repetitive tasks, and I excel in communicating insights to distributed teams. I have successfully collaborated with global teams, consistently exceeding quality benchmarks and contributing cultural insights to enhance database accuracy.
