See the numbersI started a society that gets students work
There was no clear way for marketing students in Sligo to get experience, so I built one. I founded the ATU Sligo Marketing Society, pitched speakers on LinkedIn all summer, and connected members with real work. Members have since picked up work and jobs through it.

About me
From Balla, Co. Mayo. Final year marketing at ATU Sligo with a First-Class Honours so far. I back myself, I know when I need to learn more, and I'm always pushing to be the best I can be. I also talk to first years at induction and represent the course at open days.
Off the clock I play every week for Manulla FC, follow Newcastle everywhere, surf, golf, and I can fly a plane.
Hiring for a grad role? Let's talk.
Based in Mayo, available from summer 2027, happy to relocate.
