LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE

  • Glenlo Abbey Hotel: As driving range supervisor, I was often tasked with recruitment and training in the new hires for the busy summer months. They would shadow me for several days and be taught how everything works and have the confidence to be able to do it on their own without my supervision and allow the team to develop.
  • Delta Security Group: As head security officer in one of the most popular pubs in Galway I had a lot of responsibility when it came to maintaining the safety of the staff and premises and trying to de-escalate any situation that may arise. Delegate duties to the other security officers on that night and write reports at the end of the shift.
  • Electric Garden Nightclub: I had the responsibility of being the first point of contact for every single person that entered the venue, often upwards of 2000 people every night and was their first stop when they had questions about the venue or Galway itself. Coordinate with the duty managers throughout the night to ensure no issues arose.
