Rahat Rizwan is a junior majoring in communications with a minor in business. She heard about the internship during a career fair and was immediately interested. For her first semester with ATLAS, Rahat works directly for the organization's Communications Team as a Website Content Strategist. She creates, publishes, migrates, and approves content on the ATLAS website. She is grateful for the ATLAS Internship Program because she has been able to develop technical skills (such as knowledge in Drupal, Google Analytics, and Balsamiq) while majoring in a non-technical field. Though she is unsure of what she wants to do after obtaining her degree, she knows she will take these valuable, technology-based skills with her in the future. Alongside the internship, Rahat serves as a student council member on the board for the iPromise Scholarship and volunteers when she can with Volunteer Illini Projects. In her free time, she loves to paint, cook, and watch Marvel movies!
