- Two Pints MediaMy post-graduation project, Two Pints was a platform for myself to begin to look subjectively at the news and invite an audience to dissect news product and form their own agenda through unbiased and “devil’s advocate” style content.

BA (Hons) Film & Television ProductionMetropolia Ammattikorkeakoulu
- Helsinki, Finland
My Erasmus semester abroad took me to Helsinki's University of Applied Sciences. The course was heavily production based and helped to develop my skills in physical content production in the media sphere.
One of the most notable experiences of this time was the opportunity to commission a Television production for Helsinki's AlfaTV on the municipal elections. Acting as producer, assistant director, presenter, field camera and assistant editor I proved to myself my ability to work in a high speed and brief- based production.
The semester abroad also greatly benefitted my own impression of my passions within the industry I was training to work in. During the Erasmus semester I began the ideation phase of my dissertation and began to understand that my talents lay in the dissemination of media messages and the political implications of media consumption.

BA (Hons) Film & Broadcasting, Specialising in Radio ProductionDublin Institute of Technology
- Dublin, Ireland
Ireland's longest standing media production degree, I have recently completed my studies in BA (Hons) Film & Broadcasting, specialising in Radio Production and expect to graduate the course with the highest honour.
In this degree my horizons have been broadened to hone my skills in creative branding, production management and broadcast analysis. I have taken part in numerous projects in this time which have required me to implement, demonstrate and delegate my strengths in teams of upwards of ten peers and in my outputs have clearly shown my ability to work under pressure and to deadline.
