I'm an AI Annotator Generalist who thrives on ensuring data accuracy, consistently achieving 100% quality ratings across various annotation tasks including text, audio, image, and video. I have hands-on experience with RLHF, prompt engineering, and SFT, contributing to safer and more accurate AI models. My background as an Occupational Therapist means I'm naturally detail-oriented and skilled at in-depth data evaluation and clear communication.

I'm excited by the opportunity to apply my meticulous approach and analytical abilities to support the innovative AI work at TELUS Digital AI Data Solutions.
