Stephanie Fuccio:
Communication Specialist | Conversational AI
20 years studying how humans communicate.
Now applying that to AI.
About
My background is in human language and how people express ideas. I taught both spoken and written communication to adults for over 15 years, hold a Master's Degree in Second Language Acquisition, spent years as an IELTS examiner evaluating thousands of real conversations, and published research on how technology can shift the way people give and receive writing feedback.I've been at the intersection of humans, language, and technology for over a decade.For the past several years I've been applying that same lens to AI, designing prompts, evaluating outputs, and exploring what it actually means to communicate with a language model rather than just use one.What I bring:
Language analysis · Prompt design · AI output evaluation · Conversational AI · Human-centered communication · Second language acquisition · Content strategy · Teaching & training
