Learning about key academic themes included the socio-historic development of soccer, the influence of supporters and stadium culture, and the broader social impact of sport. Visiting the Museu do Futebol, the Institute of Sport and Education and the Brazilian Paralympic Committee. One of the most memorable experiences was attending Flamengo vs. Vasco at Maracanã Stadium, which provided an unforgettable perspective on the passion and cultural significance of soccer in Brazil. Overall, this program strengthened my global perspective and deepened my understanding of how sports can influence culture, identity, education, and business.

My internship in Germany at ImpactHub Berlin. It was so fun working in such a dynamic workplace with so many other international people from all around the globe! The UEFA European Championship was also going on while I was there so it was awesome being able to watch games with locals at the nearby Turkish restaurant.
