I’m currently a childcare practitioner with leadership experience in the pre-school and baby rooms. I’ve learned to thrive under pressure, think creatively, and develop communication with parents, children and colleagues. I’m now looking to transition into marketing, and have started studying Marketing Practice (QQI Level 5) at National College of Ireland, while continuing to work in a creche. In recent months I started a small cake business, did a social media marketing case study, and gained hands-on experience with Canva, CapCut, Google Sheets and Analytics. I’ve been building my skills in social media marketing, branding and content creation. Outside work I enjoy gym, travel and reading.
