Experience

CASHIER/BUSSER/ STOCKER ARAMARK 2018

I was working in California on a J1 Visa for the summer 2018 at Yosemite National Park. I was employed by Aramark as a Cashier. My job included cashiering, bussing and stocking and, I thoroughly enjoyed the work which was constantly demanding and gave me an opportunity to explore and photograph some wonderful wildlife and landscapes in this beautiful part of the world. I was exposed to numerous and diverse cultures and learned so much from meeting guests from all over the world. I received cashier, stocking, bussing and tipping training throughout the summer. I received compliments from both guests and managers for my customer service and the job itself.

The experience was not without challenges as the Park was a subject to unpredicted forest fires which we all ended up been evacuation from the Park in late July. I had to fend for myself make my way to family and friends in Southern California and organize a fallback job in the event of the Park not reopening. I enjoyed the challenges and secured a waitress position in San Diego. In event, the Park reopened, and I made my way back. It encouraged me to continue with my travel and gave me confidence in facing challenges away from home.

PHOTOGRAPHER/SALES ASSISTANT MAGIC MEMORIES 2017

From May to September 2017, I was working in California on a J1 Visa for the summer at Legoland in Carlsbad. I was employed by Magic Memories as a Photographer. My job included making sure the guest’s day in the park was enjoyable and memorable and of course keeping smiles on their faces, I took photographs and sold them to customers. I received extensive training in Customer Service and worked in every section of the Theme Park, from taking photographs of children and their families in their dream location to dealing with any complaints they may have. It was a pressurized environment with constant demands from children and their parents, but I found the challenges very enriching. It equipped me with the experience of team working in a diverse working environment.

SHADOWING VIKINGS (2013) _ ASHFORD STUDIOS 2018

For a few days in the month of November 2018, I got to shadow Alan Butler who is a camera man that works on the set of Vikings (2013) in Ashford Studios in Wickow. I shadowed him as they filmed for Vikings, I got to get a taste of being on a real set helping and overserving how they set up a scene, camera work, the equipment, lighting, sound, and how they prepare for scenes one after another.

SHADOWING BBC STUDIOS 2016

As a first-year student in Digital Media & Design course, I was keen to get a hands-on insight into the world of TV and got the agreement of Joe McCusker, Senior Sports Documentary Producer, BBC and who hails from my home county of Donegal to allow me to shadow her and her film producer partner. I shadowed them as they worked on a Sports documentary in March 2016. It gave me a great insight into the huge amount of back room work involved in preparing for interviews and filming prior to setting up.

PRODUCED & EDITED BLUESTACKS ARTS FESTIVAL 2017

In October 2017, I produced and edited a 15-minute slide show titled from the Bluestacks to the Caribbean, it charted the journey of a Donegal photographer through Cuba and featured in the 2017 Bluestacks Arts Festival which is sponsored by our local County Council.
