I am a recently graduated DCU Multimedia student looking for an opportunity to grow and learn in the media field. I have learned a lot in college, with favourite modules including Scriptwriting, Video Production and Emerging Media, and I’ve achieved strong results in these areas. I’m eager to apply these skills in a real-world setting and continue learning on the job. I’ve also enjoyed extracurricular media work, such as DCU’s 24-Hour Broadcast, volunteering as a broadcaster, hosting and producing a radio show, and helping with large-scale charity broadcasts. I’ve taken on roles in student media teams, mentoring peers and contributing to productions, and I’ve gained experience coordinating teams and managing content for DCU media initiatives.
