Advice for Students Considering a Career in sports
The experience you get outside the classroom is just as valuable as your time in it. Volunteering, networking, and saying yes to new opportunities have allowed me to build skills, meet professionals, and gain a better understanding of how the sports industry operates. Suffolk University has played a major role in that journey by providing opportunities to gain hands-on experience, connect with industry professionals, and apply what I've learned in real-world settings. These experiences have reinforced my passion for pursuing a career in the sports industry.
