➢ I personally designed and implemented a unique model for Web Summit managers to follow when dealing with all types of situations that can arise in an employee’s work or personal life. The CARE model was developed around the use of conversations and actions to de-escalate situations before they potentially became issues. The model also made it very clear what the responsibility of a manager was versus the responsibility of HR. I facilitated over 50+ workshops on utilising this model with all leaders & people managers within the company and any new hire thereafter. ➢ Solely responsible for the design and facilitation of cultural workshops globally. In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, I came up with an idea and ran 25+ workshops with over 150 people from across the business. The purpose of the workshop was to give employees and their managers an avenue to speak openly about what communication, connection & culture meant to each of them now that we were all going to be working alone from behind a screen. I called this project “Life inside the square” and the feedback was brilliant from managers and employees during very difficult times. ➢ Reporting directly to the Chief People Officer, I acted as the bridge between management and HR to all ten divisions (250 people globally) across the business. This involved liaising with divisional leaders (C-suite, SVP & VP level) on a regular basis to ensure consistency, accountability, and collaboration. On the back of this, I proudly designed and ran what we called “Culture Check-ins” every +4weeks with each divisional lead and their respective people managers. The main objective of a Culture Check-in was to create a safe and open environment for discussion and debate around all things culture, which was focused more on proactive and creative problem-solving than it was about "business as usual" matters which would have been dealt with in other meetings throughout the month.

I took advantage of the J1 Student Visa opportunity which allows students to live and work in the USA for a period of 3 months. I worked as a bartender in an extremely unique and fast-paced bar in the heart of Brooklyn and became lifelong friends with the people I worked with. Landing in New York with no job and no apartment further solidified my appreciation of the term "hard work". It also taught me to embrace new and exciting opportunities that come my way. You never know where they might take you. Successfully living, working, and socialising in New York for four months to me was a great achievement and an experience I will never forget.

Working in Croke Park and The CCD has really helped me appreciate the amount of time, effort and planning that goes into making an event a memorable occasion for all involved especially the customers. I have worked numerous world class concerts such as U2, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Take That, and Westlife each playing 2-3 concerts over one weekend. The experience I gained through working here will stay with me throughout the rest of my career. Having it on my CV helped me secure a job when I finished my final year in college and moved to New York City in May of 2014.

I worked with this company for 6 months and had to leave as I was starting college. I returned in June of 2012 for a duration of 3 months (Summer holidays) to make a total of 9 months. My role within this company was as a Warehouse Operative.
