“Working as an intern for Premier Live was a great experience for me. I was able to help them on the sales and the marketing side.

I was able to reach out to top tier executives around the world about one of the most exclusive pro-am events, the Necker Cup. Overall, this summer internship was exactly what I needed to help me get ready for a job in the future.”
