Freelancer Overview

I am a bilingual English-Spanish professional with international experience managing data, maintaining accurate digital records, and working with structured information systems in operational and research environments across Colombia and the United Kingdom. Throughout my academic and professional experience, I have developed strong analytical and detail-oriented skills through database management, data verification, report preparation, and research support. I am experienced in following standardized procedures, accurately organizing large volumes of information, and clearly communicating complex information to diverse audiences. My background also includes data analysis and visualization using tools such as Excel, Google Sheets, ArcGIS, and R. What sets me apart is my combination of advanced research training and operational experience in fast-paced multidisciplinary environments. I hold dual BSc degrees in Biology and Microbiology and an MSc with Distinction in Global Wildlife Health and Conservation, during which I gained experience in handling research data, interpreting results, and producing technical reports. I am highly adaptable to new digital platforms, comfortable working independently in remote settings, and committed to accuracy, consistency, and quality in all tasks. My strong English proficiency, analytical mindset, and experience working with structured workflows make me well-suited for AI training, data labeling, and content evaluation roles.
