    Activities and Societies: I ran a social media campaign called Speakfor15 in support of Pieta House, throughout the 2019 Rugby World Cup. I wanted to encourage communication surrounding our mental health. I challenged rugby fans to chat to a friend for the full 15 minute half time break of any game they watched. No phones, no distractions, just conversation. I have raised over €5,000 and got support globally. Check out my Speakfor15 social media pages on Twitter & Instagram! I have also talked to numerous schools.

    I received an overall 2.1 award in the Bachelor of Business Studies, majoring in Marketing. A full transcript is available on request.

    I am currently running a social media campaign, 'Speakfor15', to encourage our communication surrounding our mental health, throughout this years Rugby World Cup in Japan. Instead of rugby fans using their phones during the half time breaks, I challenge everyone to speak to a mate for the full 15 minute interval. No phones, no distractions, just conversation. Many people have got behind this campaign such as Rugby players from the Irish provinces, Harlequins, Irish & English international players and even Jamie Redknapp! If this proves to be a success, I have aspirations to continue my work with Pieta House after the tournament.
