I retired on September 30, 2025, and I plan to work as a freelancer. I am interested in remote contract job opportunities, especially as a beginner AI data labeler. I plan to move to Chicago in 2026. I have strong metadata, taxonomy, and indexing skills, developed while working for over twenty years of experience as a librarian and metadata professional. In addition, I have been a small business owner and a project manager in the United States and in Bulgaria. I am a team player and a continuous learner. I am a citizen of the United States.
