From as long as I can remember, I have always had an interest in business. Growing up in a family business whereby evening dinners often became like board meetings or lively debates, having an interest in business or entrepreneurs is unsurprising! My first unfortunately failed venture was setting up a Disney Club after a family holiday to Orlando. Granted I was only 10 years old at the time but I learnt a valuable lesson in the importance of cash flow. Throughout my career I have had the opportunity to apply this entrepreneurial spirit through different projects and roles within different companies. In 2006 I created the first USA & Canada programme for Irish tour operator Sunway Holidays, targeting Irish consumers to travel to North America. The programme was recognised by the travel industry through its receipt of numerous trade awards. In 2011, my business partner & I identified the need to offer skilled marketing services for the SME sector which was cost effective. We co-founded TL Marketing allowing me the opportunity to work in several industries including education, hospitality, fashion and enterprise. One of my more interesting projects/challenges was project managing the restoration of the original Tower of Kildare Castle which dates back to 1285. Currently studying a radio presenting course with Learning Waves & Skillnet Ireland. Specialties: Marketing, project management, business development & radio presenting
