CAREER
Pilates Instructor since Jul 2016:
Since 2015 I have been working as a Mat Pilates instructor as my main career.
Child-Care 2009 - 2016
After traveling for 1 year, I decided to change career path from the corporate world to work with children.
I did a Fetac 5 course with FAS and got a job in the loveliest creche in Swords. I absolutely loved minding the kids and working with my colleagues. I thought of them more like a family.
I used to keep myself fit with:
Yoga & Anti-Gravity Yoga,
Pole Dancing & Aerial Hoop,
be part of the Westwood swimming Club,
do a bit of running,
skipping rope
Even with all the above my core muscles were not as strong as I needed them to be. Therefore I kept getting back injuries. I had severe pain for long periods of time until I discovered Pilates.
Corporate Jobs - More than 20 years
I completed a 3 years course in Business Administration in Brazil and had work placement in large companies such as PETROBRAS - Braziliam Petroleum.
After working in Itautec Informatica (computer/software manufacter) in Paulista Avenue (one of the most important locations in Brazil, where the headquarters of many financial big companies are) I decided to take a 3 years course in Information Technology.
During the Faculty course in IT I decided to take some private English lessons with the teacher.
In 1997 I finished my 3 years IT course, left my job in Itautec and came to live in Ireland.
In Ireland I worked for the head office of Park Rite (Irish Life), Hertz-Rent-a-Car, Lufthansa and other office jobs.
