the Middle East.

local school in Kathmandu.

some more education…

Master’s in International Management.
I studied in both Dublin and the
amazing city of Barcelona.

Reporting position at AEGON…
…so I packed my bags again and
set off for the Netherlands.

returned to Ireland…
… where I landed a
job at Twitter!
I now work as an Account

it takes me in the future.

go beyond the snore inducing and meaningless in pursuit of my dream
job”

social media and digital marketing, challenging myself and
encouraging others to deliver true value”
