FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ME...
I have a background in Journalism. My writing includes articles on social issues from Alzheimers, community topics, profiles on companies, travel pieces, film/book reviews, press releases and more. I have my first book out soon containing interviews with a variety of people in business, community, and the arts who I interviewed during the pandemic. I am also writing a children's book.
Previous work experience was for the Dun Laoghaire Gazette and also a work placement for Futura Communications working on their trade publications Menswear and Footwear in Ireland. I have also had articles published in the Irish Independent, U Mag, Ireland's Own and online.
I have written articles for Women in Business Alliance (WIBA) through Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Chamber(DLR) on women in business issues and women in politics.
I achieved a Post Grad in Learning and Teaching for Further Education/Adult Education in 2019 which boosted my career choice and gave me another avenue to explore in teaching. I was teaching a weekly Creative Writing class in my local community pre- pandemic and brought my writing course online to help people stay well, mentally, through writing about how they were feeling about the pandemic, etc.
I am a firm believer as a parent that we can teach our children to think outside the box creatively by expressing themselves through writing, drawing, painting and telling stories vocally or in a creative format. My eight-year-old son was recently awarded a certificate for winning a competition for his class in association with Blackrock Education Center and their "Write a Book" project collaboration with local schools. I hope I have been instrumental in his creative abilities from watching me through my work, in particular, working from home during the pandemic.
For my own creativity, I love to swim in the sea and continue to do it in the winter months, as long as my hands don't get frostbite 🙂 My happy place is by the sea, watching the sunrise with my children.

Preparing to present at a conference, I wanted my PowerPoint presentation to be impactful with images that participants would be likely to remember. Yvonne took time to understand the essence of the message and devised a presentation that I am very happy to roll out again and again. Thanks Yvonne.
