	I studied at Rathmines College for three years. I received my Certificate in Print Journalism and Public Relations in 2005 and because I was so happy at the college I decided to return to complete my Higher National Diploma in Journalism in 2007. I always found every one of my lecturers very approachable and extremely helpful with any difficulties I was having. The practical skills I learned during my time in Rathmines have been priceless to me, particularly working with the technology in the studio as they help me in my job on a daily basis. Since January, I've been working in the newsroom of Northern Sound radio which covers counties Cavan and Monaghan. I would highly recommend Rathmines as a college not only for the knowledge and the skills I have gained from it but I have made some lifelong friends and we have had many laughs along the way.
