Abby Masucol is a junior studying English and Creative Writing. She heard about the ATLAS Internship Program through the English Department and she decided to join because she wanted to have an immersive experience in working with technology. Abby is a Social Media Specialist intern for the Humanities Professional Resource Center. Her responsibilities include, the upkeep of HPRC’s social media accounts, and marketing their events to the students at the University of Illinois. She designs at least 2 graphics a week and posts them on Instagram and Facebook. She also creates presentation slides that are posted on the TV displays in Lincoln Hall. She is currently searching for more professionals to feature in the Professional Pitstops and is aiming to post at least two videos this school year. Her future plans include being an editor of a publishing company but she is also considering social media because she has enjoyed her internship and thinks it would be a cool career to pursue. She will take her new skills and experiences in social media marketing, communication, resume building skills, how to work in a mostly remote position, networking, professional emails, graphic design, and editing with her as she works towards her future plans.
