Trust, Safety & Content Professional.
Moderator · Writer · Researcher.

Twelve years on Upwork, 40+ contracts. That number sounds underwhelming until you notice most of them never really ended. Clients from 2015 still have active contracts with me, not because they came back, but because they never left. Those same clients are also the reason I wear multiple hats. They trusted me with more, I delivered, and my profile feedback reflects that across trust and safety, writing, research, and virtual assistance. The low contract count is the point. Outside Upwork, I work across content moderation, cybersecurity research, investigative writing, and transcription. I take fewer projects by choice and give full attention to clients who need consistent, reliable output.

2010

Started as a freelance writer on Freelancer.com, started with software reviews, gadget coverage then moved on to work as a HARO ghostwriter. That foundation informs everything since: moderating content requires understanding how it's made, and writing teaches what good judgment looks like at scale.
