Dublin 9, County Dublin, Ireland
Currently a class of 2027 student studying my undergraduate degree in Communication Studies at Dublin City! I'm a highly creative and passionate person seeking experience that will help me develop new and existing skills pertaining media production. Topical areas of interest include pop/online culture and history, sociology, and documentary work. As a member of DCU’s Media Production Society, and a writer for The College View, our independent student newspaper, I am extremely passionate about exploring various forms of media production ranging from writing, and photography to graphic design, film, and editing. Throughout my previous experiences I have developed a broad skill set including research, writing, communications, teamwork, photography, Adobe Audition/Photoshop, Canva and more!
As a writer for The College View, DCU's independent student newspaper, one of the branches of DCU's Media Production Society. I have worked primarily, researching, writing, and self-editing articles centred around relevant science and technology news for publication.
During my time as a retail assistant at Dunnes I worked primarily as a cashier serving customers on the tills. Working this role, especially at Christmas time exercised and developed my customer service skills, as well as my ability to work efficiently and calmly in stressful, busy working conditions with long queues. Alongside till duties I worked stocking shelves at quiet store times, offering support to floor staff.
Working for Gorey Catering my duties ranged from working various GAA events in Croke Park and the GAA National Games Development Centre to working in the Croke Park canteen. This role built the foundation of my customer service skills as I worked to provide the best service to various teams and GAA associates over the course of my time working as a catering assistant, especially during high stress times such as lunch rushes, and important GAA events. This taught me excellent skills in terms of working under pressure while still achieving a high standard of customer service. Furthermore I developed various skills in regards to kitchen duties such as maintaining stock, preparing and serving food, cleaning and closing up.
