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 believe that the strategic element of marketing will allow to me to express both my analytical and creative side. 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, sea swimming and watching sports. I'm a huge Leinster Rugby fan and love watching F1 and CrossFit. Other than that, you'll find me on YouTube or TikTok watching drag queens!
