I'm an MES Engineer with a proven track record over the past four years, delivering across leadership and management, design and review, commissioning and qualification. I also have experience with personal film and editing in my free time. I work well in multidisciplinary teams and can also take the initiative to ensure timely project delivery. I have presented at events to over 100 people and uploaded edited content online also. I have led a CanSat team to Cork regional heat and earned Gold, Silver and Bronze Gaisce awards. I also enjoy challenging personal goals, having summited Mount Kilimanjaro in 2023 for Focus Ireland and completed the Cork City Marathon in 2024 and 2025.
