Her Story
About Sarah
I naturally fell into writing, editing, and proofreading because it's just what I'm best at. I started helping people write research papers back in high school, and began doing it professionally around 2018. I really improved my writing skills through my education at Hunter, especially writing about social issues for sociology and human rights. Working on my graduate thesis was what truly helped me solidify my skills. My previous job was as an AI analyst, and a lot of what we did there revolved around improving text and fact-checking, making things a lot more coherent and sensible for research queries. We would evaluate different responses that the AI model would produce, critique them, improve existing responses, and write new ones from scratch. I also worked as a clinical research coordinator at Mount Sinai, where my boss introduced me to the European Health Psychologist and I published a few articles there. My thesis is published on Proquest as well.

01What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
I'm not thrilled about the direction AI is going, but I do think it can be incredibly helpful when it comes to helping people learn and understand different concepts in writing. However, I'm totally opposed to quote-unquote AI slop and just creating images just for the sake of creating images. I'm upset about the proliferation of data centers. I think all of this can and should be contained for educational purposes only, and with the environment in mind. I think of it as similar to nuclear energy - it could work wonders with just powering regular people's homes, but of course, you don't want it to be used for bombs or ammunition or anything.
