My Blog Story

Hi,
I’m Mary.
Just a bit about me! - living in Waterford for most of my life - now living at John's College the Folly Waterford.
I have a grown-up son Shaun – Shaun lives in Dublin with his partner Aoife. Shaun works as a mental health counsellor for the HSE funded mental health agency SHINE.
He has a degree, and more recently a master’s in psychology, and is my inspiration, and the main reason I returned to Adult Education.

Started my journey when I successfully completed a Higher Certificate in Marketing and Communications at SETU - Previously having completed a Business Studies Fas Course in 2011 - Enrolled at WCFE in 2015 -
This was the beginning of a two-year Business Administration course which I completed with Distinction in 2017 –
Successfully completed Diploma/ Degree Course Business Entrepreneurship in 2018 SETU (previously WIT)

Then in 2021 through Springboard & WIT -
I completed the Higher Certificate in Digital Marketing with honours, run by Joe Griffin, which was on my bucket list for some time – and I’m glad to say – loved it – I’m good at it – and want to do it forever. - I have been working part time in administration also right during this period - which helps a lot, as you see both sides of the Business World as an administrator.
Also successfully completed Higher Certificate in Project Management at SETU in 2022.
Opened my Digital Marketing Business “Mary’s Digital Market” in May 2022
Now delving into retail with “Mary’s Market Bazzar” since December 2023
Studying and upskilling again, right now of course, at Limerick University with Management for Service Business.
Finally doing now what I love to do and looking forward to many successful collaborations along the way!
