Hire the Best Research Specialists
in the United States

Need someone to collect, verify, clean up, or organize data without needing a lot of hand-holding? I’ve completed 3,700+ hours and 60+ projects on Upwork, with a 100% Job Success Score and Top Rated status. Most of my work has involved manual data entry, web research, data validation, spreadsheet cleanup, and collecting information from websites or online databases. The projects I enjoy most are clear, organized, and detail-focused: finding specific information online, entering it into Excel or Google Sheets, checking for accuracy, updating records, and making messy data easier to use. A few examples of work I’ve done: * Collected university academic dates from school websites * Gathered faculty contact information from college directories * Researched online college catalogs * Verified data for a children’s camp program database * Looked up apartment complex names from address lists * Entered bank statement information into Excel * Cleaned and organized spreadsheets * Updated CMS/database records * Completed health insurance claims data entry I’m dependable, accurate, and comfortable with repetitive work that requires focus and consistency. I do best with projects that have clear instructions, a spreadsheet or database to update, and a deadline to work toward. I’m especially interested in projects involving: * Manual data entry * Web research * Online research * Data validation * Data cleanup * Data collection * Excel or Google Sheets * Contact list building * Database updates * Accuracy checks I’m not the best fit for phone-based work, cold calling, sales outreach, or projects that require coding or scraping tools. If you need someone reliable to work through a list carefully and get the details right, I’d be happy to help.

Complex research requires information you can trust. But gathering and verifying data across multiple sources isn't always realistic for busy teams. I help mission-driven organizations turn complex, time-intensive research into clear, structured information they can use to move projects forward. SERVICE AREAS: STRATEGIC RESEARCH PROJECTS For topics that require careful review across multiple sources, including public records and government data when relevant. This may include program development, policy questions, legislative and regulatory analysis, assessing community sentiment, or developing a deeper understanding of an issue. GRANT AND FUNDER RESEARCH For identifying and evaluating high-fit funding opportunities based on alignment, priorities, and patterns of support. Typical projects include curated grant listings and funding strategies. With more than 1,000,000 public record searches completed in my previous practice, I bring a deep familiarity with navigating legal and public information sources to every project. My background includes a master's degree in criminal justice and formal training in grant development. I am especially interested in work that advances programs and initiatives making a meaningful impact in their communities and beyond. If this feels aligned, I would love to hear about your project.

I currently evaluate frontier AI model outputs for AI data companies. Before that, I spent years in roles where data accuracy mattered, from maintaining digital nautical charts used for marine navigation to serving as subject matter expert for geographic and demographic research datasets used in major business decisions. Here's what my background means for your project: -Accuracy. I read style guides closely, flag ambiguities early, and catch edge cases. I've spent my career reviewing data and product releases for accuracy before they reached the people relying on them, and I bring the same care to annotation and QA work. -Communication. I've supported major client accounts, run trainings, and written documentation that makes complicated data understandable. I respond quickly, ask questions when the brief is unclear, and keep you updated. Relevant experience. Annotation frameworks, QA workflows, and quality rubrics are what I work in daily, so there's no ramp-up time on your project. WHAT I DO: -AI Data & Annotation: AI model evaluation and response rating, AI data annotation and labeling across text, audio, and video, transcription and transcription QA for audio, video, and meeting notes, and app and software testing grounded in professional UAT experience -Data & Research: data entry, enrichment, and database management in Excel and Airtable, data analytics, market and competitor research, consumer segmentation and audience profiling, demographic and geographic reporting, and survey design and analysis -GIS & Geospatial: custom mapping and spatial analysis with ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, FME, and Mapbox, plus location data and demographic mapping for real estate, urban planning, and logistics. I hold a Geography degree and worked as a professional geospatial analyst. -Writing & Voice: proofreading and copyediting, technical documentation, how-to guides, training materials, and SOPs, plus voiceover recorded on a professional condenser mic -Travel Planning: I'm a liscensed travel advisor who creates personalized itineraries for any budget or style, end-to-end logistics covering flights, accommodations, ground transport, visas, and travel insurance, plus access to exclusive hotel, cruise, and airline rates and perks Whether it's a quick transcription review or a multi-week research engagement, I read the brief carefully, deliver clean work, and hit the deadline! If you have a project that needs careful, consistent execution, send me a message with the details.
