About me
Born and bred in London, after school I lived in for 5 years to study and work. While studying at Trinity College I started my own club night employing the best local talent, becoming the biggest night out for the University. While achieving a 2.1 degree I won two international drama awards based on the BBC Radio 4 show, Desert Island Discs. I made BBC news managing an event that transported 1,000 students across the country to club and back themed on the Hogwarts Express- the event made BBC news. During college I worked at a music marketing company to fund my education and gain experience. After receiving my Bachelors I took a 6-month internship at Red Bull Ireland responsible for running the website and all social channels for the brand. I gained all the digital marketing skills needed; copywriting, content creation, online advertising and data analysing. Since moving back to London I have continued writing for Red Bull, and for the biggest electronic music website in Ireland, When We Dip.
