JACKSON O'MAHONY
Summary
Dedicated and hardworking, I am a 3rd year student in BIS, MTU Cork. This Summer, I worked in the Quality Assurance team in Fexco, and prior to that, I had a couple of different jobs in hospitality and construction. I work well as part of a team and I complete every task to the best of my ability. During work placement in January 2025, I am hoping to apply what I’ve learned in BIS in a real-world setting and expand my understanding of business processes, data analysis, and IT solutions.
