About Me
I will graduated from Cork Institute of Technology in Ireland in 2015 and received an BSc Honours Degree in Architectural Technology.
I enjoy pushing myself to achieve goals and respond pro-actively and positively to a challenge. I am enthusiastic, approachable and resourceful, and I thoroughly enjoy working in a team and interacting with people.
I focus on results and I have a genuine desire to see my team succeed and achieve their full potential. I have a strong proven track record in leading and motivating successful teams, and thriving when working on my own initiative.
My professional experience and my academic endeavors have also given me a keen awareness of the importance of client focus, teamwork, and an appreciation of the importance of developing and maintaining strong positive partnerships.
While I have excelled in management roles in retail fashion and in sales roles in the telecommunications arena and have enjoyed them immensely, my absolute passion is the science of architecture, and the technology of building design and construction.
I am now looking for the opportunity to grow and develop and to gain invaluable hands-on experience working with the best, in an organisation with a reputation for excellence. I believe that I have the necessary expertise, skill and attitude required to be the ideal candidate for such a team.
I enjoy hand sketchlng in my spare time and I am constantly looking around me for something to add to my sketch book.
Participating in Architectural competitions has enabled me to work on many multidisciplinary projects with tight time constraints and gain invaluable practical experience.
I am a keen surfer and try to participate in the activity as mush as I can. Surfing provides a healthy way of life and a constant drive to do better.
I enjoy hiking and mountain climbing in Ireland and abroad from Carrantuohill to the Swiss Alps to Fox Glacier NZ.. This pushes me to my limit and gives me the energy to push beyond my comfort zone.
I have a strong interest in photography and have completed a year course in St John's College in Cork, Ireland. My style varies from art to nature to architecture.
I have been a member of Scouting Ireland for 20 Years and in this time I led my teams to win a number of competitions and have even appeared on a stamp to celebrate 75 years of scouting in Ireland.
