Freelance Work

I got my start as a journalist writing articles for Ireland’s premier business website ThinkBusiness.ie in 2016, and I have been a freelancer for them ever since. I now have more than 200 articles featuring more than 700 companies around Ireland. I specialise in creating articles in specific areas of Irish entrepreneurship or Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), such as:

  • Guides for businesses to follow in every county in Ireland to follow in Ireland
  • Guides for different businesses to follow in different sectors in Ireland
  • Businesses in Ireland are being proactive in the area of DEI.
  • Interviews with Irish entrepreneurs with a disability
  • and work with other companies, empowering underrepresented groups in Irish entrepreneurship

Here are some of my best articles:
