    Details of your career path to date

    After finishing in Maynooth I began a Masters in Political Strategy and Communication in Brussels, before interning in an NGO and consultancy. From there I was lucky to work in the European Parliament, before a brief return to consultancy led me to my current role in a European trade union. 

    Can you tell us of any career highlight to date?

    Dr. Colm Bracken

    Assistant Professor in Experimental Physics
    Ireland
    2015

    Before starting as a mature student at Maynooth University in 2005, at age 24, I had been unhappily working in various mundane jobs that I found unfulfilling. Having left school in 1995 at a very young age (14), I did not expect to ever go to University. However, in 2005 I heard about an exciting one-year program for mature students at Maynooth, which could open the doors into University for me. While completing the Maynooth Certificate in Science Programme, I got up to speed with basic maths and study skills, while also taking courses on basic physics, biology, and chemistry.

    Emer Timmons

    Founder and Managing Director
    1995
    Emer Timmons was the only woman in her maths and economics course at Maynooth in the early ‘90s. Today, the woman who has risen to the upper echelons of global business, been tapped by governments and global corporations around the world for her strategic thinking, and was honoured by the Queen with an Order of the British Empire, is trying to make sure that kind of scenario never plays out again.

    As a law student in Maynooth University, Rebecca Reid typed ‘Fashion Lawyers’ into Google’s search engine out of curiosity. Little did she know that it wouldn’t be long before she would feature prominently in that same Google search.
