“I chose the MHK program at the University of Windsor to help me reach my goal of a career in sport management. My courses provided me with a diverse background in all aspects of the sport management field. The knowledge I learned in my classes combined with the work I completed for my internship, ensured that I was well-prepared for both the application process and the start of my sport management career with Hockey Canada. Having the opportunity to get involved in so many different projects during my time in the Human Kinetics Department was the best preparation for my current role. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with the Lancers Athletics Department as the Marketing and Promotions Assistant where I gained invaluable work experience, made great friends, and confirmed my passion for sport management.
