From intern to full-time stars
Three former interns have blossomed into full-time stars at The Rapid.
Asher, a passionate enthusiast of buses and maps, discovered his affinity for The Rapid at a young age, and it was a case of love at first sight. Joining our team as an intern years later, he has now evolved into a dedicated Planner, channeling his love for buses and maps into shaping the future of transportation.
Nate started at The Rapid as an IT intern and his hard work paved the way for his transition to the role of Network Technician. Nate’s continued success then propelled him upward to the position of IT Specialist. Nate’s outstanding contributions earned him the title of Employee of the Year.
Tammy grew up riding The Rapid and wanted to apply her knowledge to enhance accessibility within her community. Beginning her journey as a Communications intern, Tammy’s evident professional development led to her transition into the role of Communications Coordinator, where she continues to contribute to the organization’s outreach and connectivity goals.
Through dedication, passion, and a supportive culture, these three seamlessly transitioned into integral roles within the agency.
