Policy and research specialist with experience in the UK Parliament and independent research organisations. Skilled in quantitative and qualitative research and producing high-impact written outputs. Currently undertaking research and policy work at the Work Foundation, focusing on employment, job quality, labour market inequality and progression.

I'm an experienced researcher and language services professional with a growing focus on AI data annotation. I bring the following combination of skills to the table: sharp attention to detail, excellent data handling capabilities, and a deep understanding of how high-quality labeled data supports machine learning and AI systems. I’ve recently worked on image and text annotation projects to support AI model training, where I followed detailed guidelines to accurately tag and classify datasets. I’m familiar with basic annotation tools such as LabelImg, and I’m confident working independently to deliver consistent, accurate work even in repetitive or high-volume environments. My background includes: - A First-Class Honours MA degree in Political Science & Public Policy from the University of Glasgow, one of the top-ranked universities in both the UK and worldwide, with strong training in qualitative and quantitative research methods. - My academic interests within public policy are varied, and include behavioural science, global healthcare systems, waste management, and transport planning. My thesis focused on the application of behavioural science to the design of sustainable waste management policies, and was recognised with an award for outstanding research quality. - 8+ years of experience in the market research industry, managing both quantitative and qualitative projects for public and private sector clients. - Direct team management experience - overseeing large remote teams of interviewers for phone, face-to-face, and focus group research. - Proven ability to follow complex instructions and apply common sense and logical reasoning to ambiguous data situations. - A track record of producing high-quality, reliable outputs on tight deadlines. - Typing speed of 85WPM - efficient and detail-focused. - Part-time experience in television and film, performing in minor roles over several years. I also hold a Cambridge CELTA qualification and have experience with proofreading, transcription, voiceover, and copywriting - which makes me particularly strong in text-based annotation, speech labeling, and linguistic tasks. As a native English speaker from Scotland (part of Britain), I’m also available for voice recording, voice acting, or Scottish-accent-specific audio work. If you’re looking for a reliable, fast, and detail-oriented freelancer who understands the importance of clean data in machine learning, I’d love to work with you!
