Work Background
Project InternationalProgramme Director - Summer Camp at Denstone College
Jul. 2025 - Aug. 2025Denstone, England, United KingdomI directed the successful delivery of a 4-week international summer programme at Denstone College, with overall responsibility for 120 students from six countries, a team of 13 staff, and 15 international group leaders. This round-the-clock role demanded exceptional leadership, organisation, and cultural sensitivity to ensure the welfare, safety, and engagement of every participant. In addition to overseeing daily operations, I was entrusted with budget and resource management, handling cash deposits, student passports, and camp expenditure. Through careful planning and oversight, I brought the on-site running expenditures of the programme ~30% under budget while maintaining high standards of care and delivery. Collaboration was central to success: I chaired regular meetings with staff, group leaders, and school representatives, and worked closely with Project International’s Commercials & Operations Manager and Director of Operations. A core focus was creating a unified, inclusive community, transforming diverse cohorts from Spain, Italy, Kurdistan, Uzbekistan, Portugal, and China into a single, supportive group. As the primary liaison between the school, international clients, and Head Office, I was entrusted by the CEO to strengthen new relationships, particularly with first-time clients from Kurdistan. The programme not only delivered an unforgettable experience for students but also secured client satisfaction, strengthened partnerships, and opened new business opportunities for the future. Key achievements: - Directed all day-to-day operations, safeguarding student welfare and delivering a memorable international experience. - Managed budgets and financial responsibilities, delivering the programme 30% under budget. - Built, led, and unified a multicultural team, fostering collaboration across nationalities and backgrounds. - Acted as primary point of contact between school, clients, and Head Office, strengthening partnerships and winning new business.
DataAnnotationAI Trainer
Jan. 2025London Area, United KingdomAs an AI Trainer, I contribute to the development of cutting-edge AI models by completing a wide variety of STEM, mathematics, educational, and foreign language-based projects. My work involves creating and applying detailed rubrics, generating and testing creative prompts, and rigorously evaluating model outputs for accuracy, clarity, and adherence to strict project guidelines. A key aspect of my role is to review, edit, and rate outputs—both from AI models and from other human annotators—ensuring consistently high-quality training data. This requires balancing meticulous attention to detail with creative problem-solving, especially when designing unique tasks and games that are deliberately challenging for AI to solve. Since external tools such as translators or LLMs are not permitted, all tasks rely entirely on my own subject expertise and critical judgment, making the work both demanding and rewarding. Key contributions: Developed and applied rubrics across diverse projects, ensuring precise evaluation standards. Reviewed and edited AI model responses across multiple domains, including STEM and language learning. Designed innovative, criteria-driven tasks to test the limits of AI reasoning. Conducted peer-review of other annotators’ work, supporting overall project quality and consistency.

I also chaired regular meetings with my team, group leaders, and school staff, working closely with senior management at Project International to align on programme standards and client expectations.

Project InternationalDirector Of Studies - Rendcomb College (Summer Camp)
Jul. 2022 - Aug. 2022Cirencester, England, United KingdomI was in charge of leading and running the English programme at this EFL Summer Camp. This was the first time we were working at this school, as well as hosted first time clients from various European countries. Since this was the first time the company was running camps since 2020, there was pressure to build rapport and good relationships. Being the 2nd in command, it was my responsibility to build a team, boost morale, run training for the mostly inexperienced staff, run welfare checks with the staff as well as the Programme Director amidst being short staffed. In the end, we ran a successful camp, with glowing feedback all round from students and group leaders alike! We had a fair few challenges, however the opportunity to creatively problem solve as well as step up to a real leadership role was incredibly fulfilling and elicited a lot of personal growth.
