Personal Information

I live in Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny and have done all my life. I  attended the local Primary School there. I studied for 6 years in CBS  Kilkenny, Co. Kilkenny, where i thoroughly enjoyed my time and  made many friends who i am still in contact with today. I thankfully  passed all of my exams and got more than enough points to attend  SETU Waterford and study Quantity Surveying, which was my  desired field of study. At the moment, i am just nearing the end of my third year in Waterford, which has been a positive experience so far.  The mix of dedication to one area, being construction measurement, as  well as meeting new people and learning to work alongside new  people has been very beneficial. I have a huge interest in the  Construction Industry and have since I used to assist my Uncle in his  trade, which is Carpentry, as well as doing Landscape works for The  Seraph Foundation. I am an enthusiastic individual, as well as very  hardworking and open to expanding my comfort zone in terms of new  challenges and tasks. I am involved with multiple sports teams in my spare time and enjoy my social life outside of work.
