CARTA SPOTLIGHT

MY INTERNSHIP WITH THE MIAMI SUPER BOWL HOST COMMITTEE

What did you like most about your experience?
Being able to work in one of the most important sporting events in the world, Super Bowl LIV was just a dream come true! I loved seeing how the three counties Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach worked together as a team to make this the best Super Bowl! I also enjoyed learning about all the amazing projects the Miami Super Bowl Host Committee was working on with the NFL like the Business Connect Program, Super Bowl LIVE, Ocean to Everglades initiative, an anti-sex trafficking campaign with The Women’s Fund, and more.
