One of the things I loved about Killybegs is how much time each of the lecturers put into each of the students. I went to study in DIT but halfway through had to pull out. I felt like I was just a number and they didn’t care if I learnt anything or not. Every single lecturer was a pleasure to work with. In Killybegs the lecturers pushed the students and wanted them to succeed in the industry of food and supported them all the way. I think it was definitely the starting point of my career which includes highlights such as; worked in several high end restaurants; author of multiple cookery books; a weekly regular on Virgin Media One television and two series with RTE.
