I'm a detail-oriented, reliable professional who loves making things run smoothly behind the scenes. I've spent the last few years working with AI tools and data tasks—labeling images and videos, evaluating LLM outputs, ranking responses, and helping improve AI systems. I'm organized, communicate clearly, follow instructions precisely, and enjoy learning new tools quickly. I'm seeking a role where I can support a team, handle structured tasks, and contribute to something meaningful.
