WHAT I CAN OFFER EMPLOYERS
I am a self-starter, fast thinker, innovative, high performance team leader with integrity. I have a proven
track record of creating and developing new ideas. I would consider my creative thinking abilities as one
of my primary skills. I have strong leadership, negotiating, interpersonal, communication, reporting and
presentation skills.
While I do have prior project management experience, I feel my knowledge of project management theory
has increased following my studies at the Ryan Academy. This would enable me to better handle various
projects at the same time, and to facilitate the meeting of deadlines.
I have highly developed, demonstrated teamwork skills. The Business Innovation Programme has
broadened my knowledge of market research theory and practice.
PLANS AND OBJECTIVES FOR FUTURE CAREER
I see myself as a top performing employee in a well-established organization. I intend to continually
enhance my skills so I can help improve operations, increase profitability, and enhance growth. My longterm
goals would be to grow with a company, gain experience and continue to learn, take on additional
responsibilities, and contribute as much of value as I can. Once I gain additional experience I would like
to move to a management position.
In the past I have shown myself to be very adaptable, for this reason I feel I can work in a variety of
industries. The idea of working for companies such as Glanbia, Bórd na Móna, Google, JCDecaux, Diageo
and companies within the Irish tourism industry would appeal to me. Areas in which I feel I would
function well would be marketing, advertising, the tourism sector and industries that require ambitious,
creative individuals.
PERSONAL INTERESTS
I have an interest in all things related to arts and culture. I enjoy keeping up to date with current affairs
and advances in science and technology. I have some experience dealing in stocks and shares on a
personal basis. Hobbies include hill walking and cooking. I have recently enrolled on a course to improve
my proficiency in French.
