Freelancer Overview

"Independent researcher and strategic communications consultant with 5+ years of experience in behavioral analysis, adversarial content assessment, and influence operations research — work that translates directly into high-value AI evaluation tasks including red-teaming, content policy review, and RLHF. As founder of Peitho Strategies, I have identified and disrupted state-actor front groups, directed counter-disinformation operations across communities of 40,000+ users, and trained 100+ researchers across North America and Europe in influence analysis methodology. My background in detecting coordinated inauthentic behavior, semiotic analysis, and adversarial narrative patterns makes me particularly well-suited for AI safety evaluation, trust and safety tasks, and expert review projects requiring nuanced judgment.
