Experience

2026 - current

Data Labeling Analyst II

At Meta (as a contingent worker) I work behind the scenes of AI development as a Data Labeling Analyst II, evaluating and improving the content that trains and tests AI models. The job is part writer, part analyst: applying detailed guidelines to model output, documenting where systems fall short, and feeding human judgment back into the pipeline. 

2018 - 2025

Technical Writer/Marketing & Communication Lead at a Data Consulting Firm

Marketing Lead: I led communications for a fully remote data analytics company: executive messaging, internal communications, 60+ newsletters, press releases, and web content. I managed the company website, handled SEO, and ran projects end-to-end, including a full site redesign and a white paper on cloud data warehousing. ​

 

Technical Writer: I wrote and edited technical content for cloud data warehousing and analytics services: reports, whitepapers, guides, and RFP responses. I worked directly with data engineers and 10+ subject matter experts to keep everything accurate, and managed publishing for 150+ documents across multiple platforms. I also supported marketing with blogs, social content, and campaign copy.
