I love to combine my passion for marketing and media with employer branding.
The lecturers and fellow students were full of passion and enthusiasm for marketing topics of all kinds, and I thoroughly enjoyed the courses.
Studying in Ireland has allowed me to travel and explore places I have always dreamed of, while also receiving a first-class academic education.
The most enjoyable aspects of my current role are the tasks that allow me to be creative and to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the company on social media.
