WHAT I CAN OFFER EMPLOYERS<br />
Hard working, honest and highly dependable, I endeavour to complete all tasks with great care and<br />
dedication no matter how small or large the job in hand could be; making sure it is carried out to the best<br />
of my abilities.<br />
Having managed a medium size architectural practice, I have an overall experience in problem solving,<br />
handling of staff and delivering projects within a team work environment, achieving deadlines for the<br />
benefit of all.<br />
The Business Innovation Programme at the <strong>DCU</strong> Ryan Academy has given me an essential insight into the<br />
business innovation process, market research and project management. The programme helped me to<br />
deepen my overall presentation skills, and expand my team building experience within a varied multiprofessional<br />
setting. It has exposed me to the importance of innovation within the entrepreneurial and<br />
business environment, highlighting the continuous change required for any business to survive - “Innovate<br />
or be prepared to fail”.<br />
PLANS AND OBJECTIVES FOR FUTURE CAREER<br />
Currently seeking new challenges as an architectural consultant with special interest in good quality<br />
design work. I am particularly interested in providing services in sustainable architecture (“passive house”<br />
design) and carrying out projects on protected structures that require careful Conservation handling.<br />
I am very interested in tutoring and lecturing for third level education within the sphere of design,<br />
architecture or personal development.<br />
I am also interested in seeking new opportunities to apply my broad strategic thinking and creative<br />
problem solving to any business or industry seeking innovative solutions in market research and design<br />
thinking procedures. Facilitating and mentoring individuals or groups to transform a new way of thinking.<br />
PERSONAL INTERESTS<br />
An active member of the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland, participating in various activities promoted<br />
by the Institute such as architectural exhibitions, seminars and architectural tours within Ireland and<br />
abroad. Well travelled and enjoy experiencing different cities and cultures. I have lived in different<br />
European countries such as Malta, Italy and the UK forging a multicultural outlook of life. I have special<br />
interest in sustainable architecture and have attended many conferences in Ireland and abroad. Special<br />
interests are art, painting, interior design, and landscape design. Visiting historical buildings such as the<br />
Great Houses of Ireland and their setting is a special delight.<br />
