About

I am a highly motivated, personable, and conscientious person with a positive outlook on life and a drive to succeed in the non-profit sector. As such, I recently finished my Master's Degree in Arts Management and Cultural Policy at University College Dublin to add to my years of experience working in chamber and youth orchestras. I am very excited to continue this journey in Dublin where I can use my communication, organisation, and administration skills to support the development of a dynamic and growing organisation. When I'm not working, I use my free time to cook, read, travel and to enjoy being in Dublin.

As Fundraising Officer, I managed all nationwide collection and community events, and I also worked with the Corporate Fundraising Manager on several corporate accounts. Researching and cold-calling businesses and potential supporters was vital to my work to ensure that we continue to grow our supporter base. I brought a digital element to my work to ensure that we are maximising our reach by catering to the future demographic of DSI.
