About me

As a producer and digital content & social media manager at Cork's Red Fm, I produced the station's drive time radio show, 'Dave Mac's Drive'. The show is the longest running drive time radio show in Cork and has been nominated for several PPI awards. Since coming on board, I took over the production of content for the show on a daily basis and worked alongside the show's presenter to accompany the people of Cork on their drive home every evening and present the highest quality programming with creative segments and news and traffic reports. During the time in which I worked on the show, the daily listenership rose by 20%, according to the latest JNLR figures.

I managed the day to day running of the RedFM website and social media accounts, which includes coming up with treatments for videos, shooting those videos, and editing those videos before publishing them on our website and social media accounts. I managed all of the company's marketing campaigns during my tenure, which included working with brands such as Emirates, Turkish Airlines and Red Bull to promote their product via both our online and on-air platforms.
I obtained an MA in Journalism and New Media from Cork Institute of Technology in 2016. I have learned sufficient skills applicable to any job in digital media. My modules included News Writing and Editing, Audio-Visual Broadcasting and Research methods & Practice and I have learned how these individual journalistic practices work in tandem to produce great content. I am entirely familiar and up to date with libel laws, having taken a module on Media Law, Ethics & Professional Practice and having conducted a project regarding the laws of defamation.
