‘ My time as an exchange student at Brock University in Canada was incredible . I know this term gets thrown around quite a lot but it ’ s 100 per cent true for me : this was a life-changing opportunity . Without going abroad and studying a new subject , I would have never discovered my interest in sport finance . ’
