About
I am a bilingual (FI/EN) Clinical AI Evaluator, Medical QA Specialist, and licensed Osteopath (B.H.Sc.) with over 15 years of clinical experience. My work focuses on AI safety, clinical reasoning evaluation, data annotation, LLM assessment, and medical content quality assurance. I have contributed to multiple high‑standards projects (Innodata, Acolad, iMerit, RWS, 10x.team, LILT), where I evaluate clinical reasoning, patient safety, medical terminology, ASR transcripts, and model risk behaviors. My core strengths include MSK clinical reasoning, medical QA, EN–FI medical translation, AI safety, guideline‑based evaluation, data QA, and resolving complex edge cases. I am seeking remote roles in AI evaluation, medical quality assurance, and healthcare data work.
