After completing my BA Journalism in Griffith College, I progressed into the BA Communications and Media Production course as I felt that this would help me to decide on what career path I would like to take. By doing this extra year, I was able to develop my skills further and this allowed me to also connect with more students in Griffith College too. This boost in confidence helped me to push past some of my fears, such as public speaking and it also helped me to realise that I really wanted to work in the area of environmental communications - an area which is growing in Ireland. I feel that I have Griffith College to thank for giving me the confidence and motivation to progress in my career path.
During my time studying Communications in Griffith College Dublin I was introduced to helpful lecturers and lifelong friends. By exposing me to so many different areas of journalism, the course helped me to figure out what I am interested in. I learned skills which have stayed with me and have helped me in my career. My experience was a joy from start to finish; I wouldn’t change a thing!
