I am an award-winning independent radio and podcast producer and media trainer. I have over ten years of experience in making radio, podcasts, sound design, and as a media trainer. I won bronze for radio drama at the Irish Radio Awards 2018 (IMRO) and have been shortlisted for seven European Radio Drama Awards, and for the Headline Mental Health Media Awards 2022.

I have worked in many different areas, teaching digital media and artistic courses to a variety of people, and I am a QQI-accredited trainer. I pride myself on my organisational and communication skills. My work demands strong creative decision-making, vigorous research and strong communication. It involves conveying the vision of the project and ensuring alignment among all parties involved.

I am open to engaging with new disciplines, new people and new ideas.
