Describe your Career Boost role with Athletics. While I worked in two different Career Boost roles with Athletics, the majority of my time at TMU was spent working as a broadcast crew leader (BCL) on RamsLive broadcasts. During my first year at RTA, I volunteered on the CIS Final 8 broadcasts, and was offered a role working on the first year of the RamsLive program the following season. It was an incredible journey from then on.
