Experienced journalist and editor in a number of different sectors specialising in fashion, property and technology. I am currently the Communications Manager at Plentific, a property start-up company in London doing freelance journalism on the side. In 2013, I graduated from the University of Limerick with a BA degree in Journalism and New Media minoring in Law & Politics. I have moved to London to continue into the world of journalism. I'm interested in completing a Masters degrees in Digital Marketing or Fashion Photography and courses in subediting and seeing what further opportunities there are for me in the world of journalism or editing. I currently work on a lot of business, technology, education and fashion journalism projects including my own award-winning website Intrigue.ie. I have honed skills in editing, copywriting, SEO, content management systems, Adobe systems (InDesign, Audition, Photoshop) and Microsoft Office, social media, photojournalism and fashion journalism. I have written for the MailOnline, Sunday Independent, the Sunday Business Post and the Belfast Telegraph amongst others. I have interviewed a number of personalities from designers (Emma Manley, Natalie B Coleman, Colin Horgan, Brendan Courtney, Lisa McCormack) to TV presenters (Vincent Browne) to journalists (Rosemary MacCabe) and am always looking to grow my interviewing skills more. In my final year of university, I completed my Final Year Project on the subject of 'The Effects of Media Influence on Young Irish Women' which is available on request. I am hardworking, adventurous and focused towards journalism. I'm a team player and push myself beyond the limits to create the best work I can for whatever publication I'm working for. I'm efficient, organised, have great attention to detail and am a quick learner.
