3rd Level Course:

Bachelor of Commerce, University College Dublin
Why did you choose this course? I had a big interest in Business and Accounting in secondary school and I wanted to further my knowledge in these areas. The course is very broad and covers many topics related to those subjects such as marketing, economics and finance.
How long is/was the course?  The course is 3 years with an additional year for an optional internship, so I will graduate in 2020.
Current role / employment:  I am currently on internship at KPMG Chartered Accountants in Dublin.
Best career achievement to date:  Securing two internships with two companies in the Big 4 accounting firms in the world, Deloitte and KPMG.
Have you any advice for our current students?  My advice would be to think about where you want to be and do your best to achieve your goals because that is the best feeling ever! If you don’t know where you want to be, don’t slack off – do the work so that you have the opportunity to do whatever you want!
Best memory of Ratoath College:  6th year as a whole was my best memory of Ratoath College – being a Cinnire and helping out with ceremonies and the surprise video that our Caoimhnoiri made for our grad ceremony!
