I am a first year Communications student in DCU, having received 545 points in my Leaving Certificate and a KCETB Student of the Year award. I am fluent in English, Irish, and can speak some French. I have a full driving license.

I work in a quantity surveying office where my main duties surround administration work - filing, creating organizational systems, uploading construction rates etc... I am about to finish my first year of Communication Studies in DCU.

I worked in a busy riding school for 4 years until I had to sit my Leaving Certificate. My main responsibilities were turn-in/out of 25 schoolhorses, grooming, tacking up, feeding, mucking out, and teaching. I assisted our main coach with lessons, and regularly taught lessons myself, including private lessons, to clients of all ages and abilities. I have experience working with green horses and youngsters, including my own horse which I bought as a 2-year old, and offered schooling services to many liveries.

I have experience working in an extremely busy and fast-paced environment where quick decision-making was essential. I assisted our full-time riding instructor, however I was left alone in charge of running the riding school many times. I enjoy both working independently and as part of a team. I possess strong social skills, and enjoy working with both people and animals. I am a dedicated worker, with technology and organization skills, aiming to perform above the standard expected of me.

My main experience surrounds riding youngsters and green horses, in both flatwork and jumping. I competed in Dressage Ireland Nationals on a horse I produced myself, however jumping is my passion. Working in a riding school gave me great insight into how different horses respond to different training techniques, therefore I am used to varying characters and ways of improving how they go.

I competed in many dressage shows at preliminary level for fun and for my youngster to gain confidence out. I have been a scribe at Dressage Ireland which was an extremely valuable experience.
