Biography
A recent graduate from an MSc. in Digital Marketing, of which I graduated with a first class honours, I am seeking opportunities and advice to begin my career in the world of gaming. I have loved gaming since I was a small child and it's my dream to be involved in the world as a career. I write reviews and critically analyze games in my spare time, and I'm also building a website to showcase myself as a freelancer until I can find full-time work as a digital marketer within the gaming industry.
I completed a thesis on the effects of influencer marketing on the Indie and Triple A sectors of the gaming industry by way of comparison, and was fortunate enough to speak to high profile YouTubers Eyepatch Wolf and RSS Liam while conducting my research.
Outside of the world of gaming, I love activism, animals, and within the COVID lockdown in Ireland have found a new love and appreciation for fitness and excercise!
