I recently started a new role as a Community Fundraising Officer for Focus Ireland in Cork! Loving the new job as it involves raising money and organising events for this fantastic charity that helps those experiencing long-term homelessness.

If you’re in Cork and want to register for the EchoLive.ie Women’s Mini-Marathon you can also raise money for Focus Ireland and the services we provide 😊

Swipe right to see how easy it is to record a podcast ➡️

On the left is the radio studio in work that allows me to control every aspect of recording audio 🎙️

Yes, it is a brilliant piece of equipment, but the mic set on the right that I bought from Amazon years ago does the same job 💪

That, along with Audacity (a free editing software) and a free Podbean membership means you can easily record, edit and produce short podcasts without breaking the bank 💰

Last night was a night full of learning at work 📚

First up was my talk on “Introduction to Digital Marketing: Utilising the Tools at your Disposal”, for the Cork Lifelong 🙌

Next up, my Professional Diploma in Digital Marketing and Strategy students welcomed Christian Donovan from for our first guest lecturer of the module 😁

Christian talked about all things Google Ads, analytics and measurement metrics. It was a brilliant talk and extremely valuable for the students and myself of course 📱📈

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes and for making the weekend so memorable, especially my family and my girlfriend 😁 blessed to have such good family and friends ❤️
