Ellie Pollard

Responsible and organised student with an excellent academic record and eye for detail. I am a Bachelor of Accounting student about to enter my final year in September at University College Cork.

I have a keen interest in the equine and horse racing industry and enjoy trying to combine work with this passion. I thoroughly enjoyed my time as Operations & Sponsorship intern with Leopardstown Racecourse last summer and gained invaluable experience and continue to work with Leopardstown on their race days. I have also worked with Tattersalls Ireland at their sales when possible which has also been a wonderful experience enabling me to see the sales side of the industry.

I am currently about to complete my six month work placement with Coolmore Stud in their finance department, again this has been an amazing experience, gaining valuable experience in their finance department and working with the team there.

• Horses have been a long-time passion of mine. Having competed from a young age with success both in Ireland and in the U.K at major county shows including qualifying and competing at the Horse of the Year Show in Birmingham. I have a keen interest in following other disciplines too including dressage, racing and eventing.
• I have also a keen interest in music and have completed all my grade exams in both singing and piano.
