Mikayla Brechon is a junior majoring in Economics and Gender and Women's Studies. She heard about the ATLAS Internship Program through an LAS newsletter. This semester, Emma works as a Virtual Event Planner and Social Media Specialist for the European Union Center (EUC). Currently, she is working on expanding the EUC's Instagram page through designing graphics and posting 2-3x per week, working on undergraduate outreach, analyzing their social media data to brainstorm ways to expand, and editing videos that she will upload to their website. In the future, she would like to work with a women's nonprofit organization. Emma is excited to expand her communication and problem-solving skills and having the ability to build her portfolio through the videos she edits and the graphics she has made. In her free time, she loves to work out. Emma is also the Vice President of an RSO on campus called Illini CHAARG that focuses on women empowerment through health, fitness, and wellness.
