  Co-founding Scribble Soc. has been one of the greatest experiences of my time at UCC so far. I have met wonderful people who I know will be my friends for life. I’m so thankful that I’ve been given the chance to bring my business and social media marketing skills to the society as well as my passion for Arts & Crafts to UCC. I have given it my all to see this new Society succeed. This experience has helped me so much personally; as it continues to improve my confidence, problem-solving, public speaking and interpersonal skills. Every week I look forward to organising and coming up with new events, especially our fun craft workshops. Helping to make our committee’s dream of creating a new UCC Art Society come to life has been one of the most rewarding experiences (albeit challenging at times), and one that I will always look fondly back on. I’m extremely excited for the future of Scribble Soc. and I’m so proud of everything we have achieved so far! Show less

St. Anne's Build A Bank

• County Clare, Ireland

• Sales & Marketing Executive

  • Sep 2014 - May 2015

  In my Transition Year of secondary school, I took part in AIB's Build a Bank. With the help of our local AIB's Business Development Officer, my team and I held a mini AIB branch in the canteen of our school once a week during lunch time. Here, students could create their own AIB bank account and deposit money every week. We learned valuable insights about bank operations and money management. This was one of my first proper experiences of working on a team. It allowed me to improve my Communication, Organisational and Team Work skills, as well as boosting my confidence in my abilities! My role was Managing our bank's Social Media accounts, Creating the Bank Logo and Promotional material. I also helped my team in the running of the bank every week and we organised weekly on-the-day raffles and promotions to encourage students to create an account and deposit money. As Hurling & Camogie were the themes for our Bank, we organised a school's Sports Day where local Sport Stars took part and our popular local radio station 'Spin South West' came to promote the event. It was a very successful day and all of the money raised went to our local charities. Our bank "Clash of the Cash" was a Regional Finalist for the AIB Build a Bank Challenge 2014/15. Show less



Analog Devices

• United States
• Semiconductor Manufacturing
• 700 & Above Employee

• Work Experience

  • Apr 2015 - Apr 2015

  For my Transition Year, I got the opportunity to complete a week's work experience for Analog Devices in Limerick from the 20th to 24th of April in 2015. This experience was informative, challenging at times and extremely interesting and fulfilling. I got to experience what it was like to work in a huge corporation with many different departments in the one building which was a whole new experience for me. The new Analog Devices building in Limerick had open plan offices so there was a friendly atmosphere and everyone was happy to give me advice. I got to learn about the company's history and I was given a tour of the lab to see how their technology was made. I also got to meet with some of the workers from different departments to hear about their experience and their advice. My main task of the week was a project to make my own Pong game from scratch. I learned simple programming techniques, basic soldering techniques for circuit boards and got to create and personalise my own game which was displayed on a mini LED screen. This experience allowed me an insight into Analog Devices and the world of electronics and semiconductors. It was a wonderful and fulfilling opportunity as I got to learn valuable insights from the workers, while creating something that I never thought I would have been able to make otherwise. Show less
