“I have entered various competitions over the years and have received recognition for my efforts. However this achievement is very special and I felt very proud when I received the news from RTE,” said the 26 year old.
“I have a passion for photography and developed an interest over the years since I purchased my first camera. We have a wonderful landscape and it’s about being in the right place at the opportune time to capture the special moment,” said the recent graduate from IT Tralee with a B.A. in TV, Radio and New Media Broadcasting.
