Marketing and Sport, Event and Tourism Management Major -
I chose to major in marketing because I enjoy learning about different ways to bring brand awareness to the consumer. Being a marketing intern for Yelp has allowed me to apply my skills and help small and local businesses capitalize on their customer volume. Marketing is vital in any type of business.
