Summary
I am a dedicated student in my final year, with a strong passion for sports business and management. My love for rugby has not only fueled my competitive spirit but also enhanced my enjoyment of social events within the sport. I am particularly interested in working in sports stadium management, where I can combine my passion for hospitality and sports. I believe that my experiences in both rugby and social competition have prepared me well for a career in sports management, whether in a stadium setting or in the broader sports business arena.
