**Individual Freelancer - not an Agency**
I’m an experienced project coordinator and administrative professional with an MBA and more than 15 years of experience managing contracts, projects, deadlines, documentation, and communications in a fast-paced corporate environment. I’ve also been freelancing for nearly seven years, completing more than 100 projects and building long-term relationships with clients who need someone dependable, organized, and able to work independently.
I’m the person who likes keeping the moving pieces together. I’m comfortable taking a project from assignment through completion, tracking deadlines and outstanding items, following up with stakeholders, maintaining accurate records, preparing reports and documentation, and catching the small details that can easily get missed.
My experience includes project coordination, contract management, administrative support, data management, research, client communication, reporting, social media support and publishing, video creation, document preparation, and general business operations. I’ve worked with everyone from small businesses, where wearing several hats is part of the job, to large corporate organizations with established processes and multiple stakeholders.
I’m highly proficient with Microsoft Office, particularly Word and Excel, as well as Adobe Acrobat and a variety of online business and collaboration platforms. More importantly, I’m a quick learner. I’ve worked with many proprietary systems throughout my career, so I’m comfortable learning a client’s software and processes rather than expecting every business to work the way I already do.
I’m detail-oriented without losing sight of the larger project, comfortable working under deadlines, and not afraid to ask questions when something doesn’t make sense. I communicate well, follow through, and genuinely enjoy making things easier for the people I work with.
I’m especially interested in long-term freelance relationships involving project coordination, contract management, operations, administrative support, and other ongoing business needs.
If you’re looking for someone who can come in, learn how your business works, take ownership of her responsibilities, and keep things moving, I’d be happy to talk.

Thank you for visiting my profile page!
My name is Kerry Penn, and I am a British native language specialist, transcriptionist, editor, and AI audio annotator with extensive experience in both British and American English.
Since joining Upwork in late 2016, I have worked on more than 170 short- and long-term projects involving transcription, linguistic quality assurance, written content, audio annotation, historical document transcription, and data digitisation.
As a full-time freelancer, I provide accurate, carefully researched, and professionally presented work in the following areas: transcription, transcription editing and quality assurance, British English linguistics, AI speech and audio annotation, historical and handwritten document transcription, document digitisation, and data entry.
I currently specialise in British and American English AI speech and language data, working as a Lead Annotator for British and American English audio. My work involves evaluating AI-generated and recorded speech for pronunciation, accent, fluency, naturalness, word choice, and adherence to British English linguistic conventions. I also review and quality-check annotations, resolve difficult or ambiguous linguistic cases, identify pronunciation and transcription errors, and help maintain consistent en-GB standards across projects.
As a British native who has lived in the United States for more than 20 years, I have extensive familiarity with both British and American accents, dialects, vocabulary, pronunciation, and regional usage. This background is particularly valuable for projects requiring careful distinction between UK and US English.
I also hold certifications in medical transcription through AHDI and legal transcription through AAERT, and have considerable experience working with complex medical, legal, forensic, and court-related audio.
My transcription and research work has included projects for film, television, and multimedia production companies, including programmes associated with the Animal Planet, Fox News, the History Channel, CNN, and ESPN, as well as numerous independent production companies. My clients have also included journalists, researchers, law firms, historians, educational institutions, and other professional organisations.
I am particularly experienced with difficult audio, multiple speakers, regional accents, technical terminology, and material requiring careful research and contextual judgement. I also work extensively with historical and handwritten documents, transforming difficult-to-read original material into clean, accurate, searchable digital text.
For every project, my goal is to provide work that is accurate, consistent, well presented, and appropriate for the intended audience or platform. I maintain clear communication throughout the project and take pride in meeting client instructions closely. Unless specifically requested by a client, I do not use generative AI tools to produce transcription or written deliverables.
My services include:
AI speech and audio annotation
British English linguistic quality assurance
Transcription editing and QA
Podcasts
Zoom and online meetings
Television and radio broadcasts
Forensic transcription
Legal and medical transcription
Court hearings, interrogations, and depositions
Seminars and public speeches
Workshops and training sessions
Recorded telephone conversations
Historical and handwritten document transcription
Document digitisation
Data entry and data cleaning
Google Sheets and Excel
Online research
If you have a project requiring careful listening, linguistic judgement, accurate transcription, or detailed quality assurance, I would be very happy to discuss it with you.
You can also view feedback from my previous clients here on my Upwork profile. Thank you for considering me for your project.
