I recently completed a Professional Diploma in Digital Marketing with the Digital Marketing Institute, as my current role is in e-commerce, online sales and social media marketing in the area of hospitality.   My Interests I enjoy photography & over the past few years have developed my skills in that area. I mainly shoot landscape but I also enjoy food, travel & event photography. I also enjoy music & in 2015 played on 2 stages at the Glastonbury festival and more recently I played 4 nights at Garter Lane Waterford for the Tramore M.S. production of ‘Rock of Ages’.   Social Media I’m active on social media and due to the background in photography I have a recent fondness for the Instagram platform as well as sites like 500px and Flickr.
