Alex Chavez is a freshman anthropology major from Chicago, Illinois. He is a first semester intern working as a Digital Media Specialist. His duties include digital content creation, designing slides, photography, editing, and digital signage. He joined ATLAS because it seemed like an interesting, technology-based experience to pursue. The most valuable takeaway from this internship for Alex is working in a professional team setting, organizing projects with his group members, and having good communication. He wants to one day work with environmental science, possibly in an urban environmental field. Alex is currently part of the Latin Student Association (LSA) as well as the Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS). Finally, Alex's favorite movie is "Roma."
