REAL BETIS TOUR
During my tour of Estadio Benito Villamarín, home of Real Betis, I had a fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse into the life of a sports broadcaster and play-by-play announcer at one of Spain’s premier clubs. It was an inspiring experience that deepened my appreciation for sports journalism!
NBC INTERN
During my time in Paris, I had the incredible opportunity to intern with NBCUniversal's Paralympic broadcasts. I gained firsthand experience in Olympic-level sports and media production while working at various venues, including the North Paris Arena for sitting volleyball and the Porte de La Chapelle Arena for para powerlifting. My journey began at the Champ de Mars Arena, where I assisted in wheelchair rugby coverage alongside a talented production team, including Andy Steveson and Jane Hirt. As my internship concluded, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to NBC Sports for fostering my growth in technical production, project management, and communication skills.
A lasting impression
During my time at the Paralympics, I embraced the tradition of pin trading, connecting with people from all over the world. While it was fun to trade pins at various venues, the true joy came from hearing inspiring stories from volunteers and families who came to support their disabled children. Each pin symbolizes wisdom and connection, serving as a reminder of the lasting impact of these encounters. To anyone reading this, I encourage you to invest in your future as i did going on this study abroad experience. This experience so far has left profound mark on forever! I encourage you all to do the same
PARLIAMENT OF
ANDALUCÍA
During my tour of the Andalucía Parliament, I discovered the building's rich history and its original use. Fun fact: since February 28, 1992, it has been housed in the former “Hospital de las Cinco Llagas” at c\ San Juan de Ribera, s/n, 41009 Sevilla.
