Tiago de Souza Jensen is a second year student in the Faculty of Arts, currently studying International Relations. He’s excited for this internship because of the chance to work on sustainability, one of his passions, for an event much larger than those he has previously had experience with, and the chance to contribute to an event that supports and encourages some of the worlds’ premier athletes with intellectual disabilities. Tiego is involved in the management and delivery of food and water services during the Games.
