What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values language expertise and offers growth opportunities in AI and content management.

With over 15 years of experience in translation and content management, I have honed my skills in delivering high-quality translations and optimizing AI-generated content. My journey began with a strong foundation in economics, which has equipped me with analytical skills that I apply to my work as an AI Response Evaluator at Outlier. Here, I assess AI-generated responses for accuracy and clarity, collaborating with development teams to enhance system performance.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various organizations, including Defined Crowd and Shutterstock, where I specialized in translating and curating content for Japanese audiences. My role as a website manager has further developed my expertise in SEO and web traffic analysis, allowing me to effectively promote content and engage users. I am passionate about bridging language barriers and ensuring that content resonates with its intended audience.
