About Me
Hi I'm Caoimhe! I'm currently studying for a masters in digital marketing at UCD Smurfit. I decided to pursue this masters because I have a passion for social media and love being visually creative. I am really enjoying the course so far and am hoping to apply my skills and interests to a marketing team in 2021.
At undergraduate level, I studied history and political science at Trinity College Dublin. During this time, I spent a year abroad in Vienna. In final year, I specialised in early modern European history, African politics, media and politics, and political psychology.
In my spare time, I enjoy weightlifting, pilates and watching sports. I'm a die hard Leinster Rugby fan, but I also love watching F1 and CrossFit. Since lockdown, I've really gotten into sea swimming and jigsaws (lol). Other than that, you'll find me on YouTube or TikTok watching drag queens.
