Say "Hello!" to Leah Jacobs, a junior majoring in Psychology and currently in her first semester with the ATLAS Internship Program.

Leah is serving as an Assistant Program Coordinator for the Illinois Data Explorers Committee. Her responsibilities include meeting with the leadership team to brainstorm and schedule future presentations, organizing and leading group meetings, corresponding with potential presenters, and keeping the team informed about upcoming events via email and Teams. Through her internship, Leah has gained technical skills in Microsoft Teams, Webtools (especially for email communication), screen recording, and crafting professional emails. Soft skill highlights include time management, professional communication, and learning to use organizational tools to plan her schedule efficiently. One of the biggest lessons she’s taking from her internship is the value of frequent communication and the importance of asking thoughtful questions to deepen understanding and make progress.
