About

I’m an English & Philosophy graduate who’s happiest when I’m learning, staying busy, and working as part of a strong team. I’ve built experience across customer-facing roles, from retail and office relief work to front-of-house cinema management, where I enjoy supporting people, keeping standards high, and making sure guests have a great experience.

Outside of work, I’m a big sports fan—especially soccer, GAA, rugby, basketball, and Formula 1—and I stay active by playing Sunday League soccer and being a regular at Killashee Leisure Centre. I also enjoy reading and writing when I’m not on the move, and I’ve studied radio and podcasting, which has shaped the way I communicate, write, and present—skills I continue to apply in my day-to-day work.
