Search Query: "Sabina Anand"
Googling myself is always particularly interesting because I actually have a knowledge panel and this is always the first thing that catches my eye onscreen. I self-published a book when I was 12 years old (I know, I don't know what I was doing at 12 years old either). However, this was the first time I was curious enough to see what happened when I pressed "Claim knowledge panel". I was asked to provide my reasoning for claiming, a selfie, and a photo of my government-issued ID.
As for the search results themselves, most of them were related to my professional/academic life. My LinkedIn profile shows up first, followed by a link to my author profile on Amazon. The images that show up are also mostly actually photos of me, two from when I was 12, and two more recent images. The cover photo for my novel also appears.
One link that always makes me laugh, appearing 3rd in the search results, is a link to my IMDb profile, which I only have from being in an extra in a TV show when I was 11 years old. (Yes, I know, middle school me was infinitely more interesting than college me).
I was pleasantly surprised to find that none of my social media links show up upon googling my name. After the first 5 results, the links are all to social media profiles of other strangers that share my name. So, my consensus is that while I wish my search results returned more recent images/articles about me, I'm glad that they are all professional and academic in tone.
