Sylvia M F.

Researcher. Language nerd. AI quality reviewer. Virtual assistant. And apparently, a potato. 🥔 Sounds like a strange combination? Not really. It all comes down to finding information, understanding it, improving it, and making it useful. I'm a Norwegian freelancer who enjoys research rabbit holes, spotting things that don't quite add up, and organising information that other people would rather not deal with. In Norway, we sometimes describe versatile people as potatoes. Practical, adaptable, and useful in all kinds of situations. I think that describes me pretty well. 🔎 Need to find something? Research, Fact-Checking & Information Gathering Research is one of my favourite things to do. My university studies in History, Religion, and Culture have given me a strong foundation in source criticism, analytical thinking, and academic research. I've also completed paid historical research projects, working with historical documents, source verification, and detailed fact-checking. I can help with historical, academic, archival, and online research, timelines, summaries, and research documentation. I genuinely enjoy digging through sources, connecting information, and finding answers to questions that aren't necessarily straightforward. I'd rather tell you something cannot be properly verified than give you a confident answer based on a weak source. 🇳🇴 Need it to sound Norwegian? Norwegian Language, Writing & Localization Language has been a big part of my life long before AI entered the picture. I've been an avid reader in both Norwegian and English for as long as I can remember, and I've spent years writing, studying, and working with texts. That experience has given me a strong sense of how language works beyond grammar and spelling. I notice awkward phrasing, inconsistent tone, unclear arguments, and sentences that are technically correct but simply don't sound natural. As a native Norwegian Bokmål speaker, I can help with proofreading, editing, English-to-Norwegian translation and localization, content writing, rewriting, and improving AI-translated texts. My goal isn't just to make the words correct. It's to make the whole text work. 🤖 Need a human to check the AI? AI Evaluation, Data Annotation & Quality Assurance I use AI tools extensively, but I also know how important human judgment is. I have hands-on experience from paid AI evaluation and annotation projects, including reviewing thousands of audio recordings, evaluating AI-generated responses, identifying errors, and following detailed quality guidelines. I'm comfortable with repetitive, detail-oriented tasks that require accuracy and consistency. Whether it's checking AI-generated information, comparing outputs, reviewing language quality, or annotating data, I enjoy figuring out what works, what doesn't, and why. AI is a useful tool. Knowing when it's wrong is just as important as knowing how to use it. 🗂️ Need someone to keep things running? Virtual Assistance, YouTube Support & Digital Organization I genuinely enjoy organising things and making complicated workflows easier to manage. I have practical experience supporting YouTube channels, including uploading videos, preparing descriptions, organising content, and following established publishing workflows. I can also help with data entry, online research, Notion databases, Excel spreadsheets, file organisation, content management, task tracking, and recurring administrative work. I'm comfortable learning new platforms, working independently, and following detailed instructions. Give me a clear goal and a workflow, and I'll happily take care of the practical details. And if the workflow is a bit of a mess? Well, that's often where I enjoy myself most. 🌱 A little more about me My experience goes beyond freelancing. I've worked in healthcare, held leadership roles in voluntary organisations, and spent years working with people, communication, and information. I also run Nordic History Lab, my own history content project, where I combine historical research, storytelling, writing, and digital content creation. I'm curious, independent, detail-oriented, and comfortable taking responsibility for my work. I ask questions when something isn't clear, and I'm not afraid to learn something new. I appreciate clear communication, realistic expectations, and working relationships built on trust. And if your project involves a research rabbit hole, there's a very good chance I'll enjoy it. ☕ Let's work together! Whether you need careful research, natural Norwegian content, a second pair of eyes on AI-generated material, or someone reliable to help keep your projects organised, I'd love to hear about it. And if your project doesn't fit neatly into any of those categories? Well, that's the nice thing about being a potato. 🥔
