During your time at UIndy, did you have the opportunity to complete an internship or earn part-/full-time employment with an organization in your field? If so, what was it and how did it help you professionally?
I was the assistant program director for Homegrown Lacrosse in the summer of 2023 and it showed me I can handle the long hours being in the sports industry requires.
