What did you want to be when you were younger, and how did that change over time?

When I was younger, I wanted to be a guard. I was drawn to the sense of responsibility, discipline, and the idea of protecting people and property. Unfortunately, at the time I was ready to apply, they weren’t recruiting. But it also pushed me to explore other opportunities and think about what really motivated me about that role—things like structure, safety, and service. Over time, I started looking for paths where I could still make a positive impact and apply those same values in different ways.

How do you approach problem-solving in your role?

In my role, I approach problem-solving by staying organized, trying to stay calm under pressure, and always looking for practical solutions. When issues come up—like travel delays, booking errors, or last-minute changes—I first assess the situation quickly to understand what needs to be done. Then I look at the available options, prioritize based on urgency, and communicate clearly with the employee and any third parties involved. I also like to keep records of past solutions, so if a similar issue comes up again, I can resolve it even faster. For me, it’s about being proactive, detail-oriented, and always aiming to keep things running smoothly for myself & other employees.

What’s one thing you’ve learned about yourself through this job?

One thing I’ve learned about myself through this job is that I’m good at staying calm under pressure and managing multiple priorities at once. Coordinating travel logistics and managing lease agreements across Europe means I’m constantly juggling details, deadlines, and last-minute changes. I’ve discovered that I’m highly organized, solutions-focused, and able to adapt quickly—qualities that help everything run smoothly for the employees I support.

What’s one thing most people don’t know about you?

I have two dogs who had been originally named “brandy” & “morgan”. 1 year after I got them, I emigrated to Canada and my Dad looked after them. He couldn’t remember their names, so he called them “boy” & “girl”. 10 years later and they still respond to Boy and Girl.

What was your favourite book and why?

I read a lot, so I have a lot of books I really enjoyed. Thrillers & True stories are my favourite. One I would have to pick is “The Witness” by Joey O’Callaghan & Nicola Tallant. This was an extremely honest and heart wrenching read and really captured the reality of being apart of some of the criminality gangs in the countries Capital. The author of this book was born & raised in Dublin and innocently got his first job which would change his entire life for the worst. He became the youngest person to enter the Witness Protection Programme in Ireland. There is also a podcast where Joey tells his whole life story, in his own words. I really enjoyed it!
