12. …the heavens and the
Earth were created.
And then, many
years later…

13. I was born in Spain...

age of 11.

at University College Dublin…

scholarships during my studies…
…and I graduated top of
my class.

15. After graduation, I began my
career at Ernst & Young.
I worked on a range of operational risk
and process improvement projects…
…across Europe and
the Middle East.

16. I took 6 months off to do some
soul searching in Nepal…
…where I taught English at a
local school in Kathmandu.

17. I decided I could do with
some more education…
…so I enrolled onto the prestigious CEMS
Master’s in International Management.
I studied in both Dublin and the
amazing city of Barcelona.

18. Upon completion, I took up a Capital
Reporting position at AEGON…
…so I packed my bags again and
set off for the Netherlands.

19. After one year, I
returned to Ireland…
… where I landed a
job at Twitter!
I now work as an Account
Manager at Twitter Dublin.

20. I am very excited about the opportunities
that this role will provide me …
… and in seeing where
it takes me in the future.

21. what I’m not looking for
“I am well able to twiddle my thumbs in my own time, so I’m looking to
go beyond the snore inducing and meaningless in pursuit of my dream
job”

22. where I want to go
“beyond the Moon! I would like to explore exciting opportunities in
social media and digital marketing, challenging myself and
encouraging others to deliver true value”
