More Than an Internship
At the beginning of this experience, my main goals were to gain practical marketing experience in the sports industry, strengthen my content creation skills, and become more confident working in a professional environment.

What I did not expect was how quickly the city would become a home away from home. Each day has brought on a new adventure. Between adjusting to a different university, starting my internship with…
