In this role, Ellie combines technical precision with creativity as she edits episodes using AI tools, manages email subscriptions, and produces social media content to engage listeners. Drawing on her background in healthcare, Ellie thrives in a collaborative, remote setting where she experiments with new digital strategies while applying the clarity and audience-focused skills she has developed in the MS in Professional Writing (MSPW) program. Learn more about her experience below:<br> &nbsp;</p> <p><b>Q: Can you describe your internship role and what a typical day looked like?</b><br> A: I work as a Digital Editor for a holistic health podcast, The School of Higher Consciousness. Every day is different for me! Most days involve editing podcasts using an AI editing platform that allows me to line edit audio and video. I also manage a monthly email subscription for listeners and create promotional content to accompany those emails. All the behind-the-scenes work I do on the podcast is later posted in short clips to social media platforms to attract new listeners and fill previous ones in on the focus of the new week’s episode.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Q: What made you interested in pursuing this particular internship?</b><br> A: I work in the healthcare field as a Document Editor, so this internship allows me to stay in my preferred field while getting to access a more creative side of my writing. I was drawn in by the freedom I have at this position to use my skills, but also grow in new areas I have yet to explore professionally.</p> <p><b>Q: How did the MSPW program help prepare you for this internship?</b><br> A: The MS in Professional Writing (MSPW) prepared me to be a Digital Editor by highlighting the importance of clarity and conciseness in each course I took. I built a strong foundation in the basics of using language that appeals to my specific audience when editing pieces and applied that foundation to this position. I am able to focus more on my audience’s needs because of my ability to understand specific edits that need to be made quickly.&nbsp;</p>

<p><b>Q: What were some of the biggest things you learned/are learning during your internship?</b><br> A: Learning how to use AI ethically and appropriately to support efficiency in my editing has been huge in this role! It has been fun to play around with different software and see what they offer when it comes to improving my editing methods digitally.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Q: What advice would you give to other MSPW students preparing for an internship?</b><br> A: Find a company, supervisor, and team you connect with well! It's important to work for a company that shares the same values as you. Finding a group of people to work with who are equally as passionate and driven as you can make all the difference when it comes to morale in the workplace. A strong connection with your supervisor will also make it easier to ask for help and advocate for yourself in your position.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Q: Is there anything else you'd like to share?</b><br> A: Similar to the MSPW program, my internship has been fully remote. It is my preferred work mode. The MSPW's virtual format has been a key part of my success in the program, and this internship is the same. I am so happy to be in such an incredible program, learning so many new things and meeting so many new people!<br> <br> </p> <p>Thank you to Ellie Sabby for sharing her internship journey with us!&nbsp; To connect with her, visit <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/ellie-sabby-500352207" target="_blank">LinkedIn.</a></p> <p>To learn more about the MS in Professional Writing program at NYU School of Professional Studies, visit <a href="http://sps.nyu.edu/mspw" target="_blank">sps.nyu.edu/mspw</a></p>
