Kayln Nowlan is a senior majoring in English. She learned about ATLAS through the Humanities Professional Resource Center while looking for an internship in communications. She works for the Office of Provost as a Media Content Producer. Kayln helps produce a series of faculty development-themed podcasts called “Dear Alma” a series in which Kalyn and her partner interview senior faculty members on the UIUC campus, drafting interview questions that are intended to support up-and-coming faculty as they grow and develop their careers. Then they culminate the audio into the podcast episodes, creating thumbnails that are consistent with the Office of the Provost brand and marketing our podcast series on various social media platforms. Currently, Kayln is working on releasing and editing more series of “Dear Alma.” She is planning to do a master's in Library and Information Science here at UIUC with hopes to pursue academic librarianship or a career in Information Science. Through ATLAS, Kayln learned about professionalism in the workplace and gained valuable communication experience. A fun fact about Kayln is that she studied abroad in the UK in Spring 2019!
