What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to lead trust & safety policy enforcement—improving moderation quality, ensuring marketplace integrity, and reducing fraud/counterfeits through QA calibration and escalation handling.

I’m a Trust & Safety and Marketplace Integrity specialist with 10+ years supporting global digital platforms, from fashion resale and education ecommerce to travel search and freelancer marketplaces. I focus on moderation leadership, listing and image review, and ensuring strong policy compliance across high-volume environments.

Since Feb 2019, I’ve been Head of Moderation Policy Enforcement (present), leading moderation workflows for marketplace safety, listing quality, and policy adherence. I review listings, images, and marketplace content for quality, accuracy, and policy compliance, while performing taxonomy correction and data accuracy checks to improve discoverability and consistency.

I’m also experienced in fraud and counterfeit risk detection, escalation handling for high-risk or edge-case reviews, and luxury authentication processes. I support remote team collaboration through QA calibration, working to improve reviewer consistency and operational quality while identifying trends, anomalies, and emerging marketplace risks.

Earlier roles included content and message moderation (Rover), customer review moderation (Wayfair), image taxonomy tagging (Flaunter), and complex ecommerce support for returns and refunds (Triangl) using Zendesk and Shopify. I also contributed geo-verification work (Verve Mobile, Wish) and QA leadership in travel-search accuracy (HotelsCombined), plus senior customer service and coaching responsibilities at OnStar.
