Exciting changes at SpunOut.ie
Blog: Two new staff join the SpunOut.ie team.
All the crew at SpunOut.ie are delighted to welcome on board two new members of staff, William Corless and Emily Lindenmuth. Emily and William will work together with the rest of the team to ensure that SpunOut.ie continues to grow, as well as to reach and empower all young people throughout Ireland.
William, aged 30, is SpunOut.ie’s Operations Manager and is responsible for managing the core business operations of SpunOut.ie. William studied electronics in college and has a wide range of work experience from the electronics industry to the hotel sector. William loves music, sports and travel.
In his own words: “Hiya, I'm Willie and I’m the Operations Manager for SpunOut.ie. My job is to run the finances of the company and make sure all the t's are crossed and the i’s are dotted. I’m originally from Galway city. I went to school in Coláiste Iognáid (the Jes) in Galway and then to the Galway – Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT). I love travelling and I’ve spent a few months travelling to South Africa and South America: bungee jumping, gorge swings, shark cage diving, parachute jumping, canyoning, white water rafting, sand boarding were great craic! Now, I just get my thrills from playing hurling and soccer and I venture out on a horse every once in a while.”
Emily, aged 24, is the SpunOut.ie Youth Participation Officer. Emily is responsible for devising and implementing a new youth participation strategy aimed at ensuring SpunOut.ie is a truly youth-led media platform.
Emily holds a degree in International Communications as well as an M. Phil in Peace Studies with a focus on community development and youth work. Hailing from the ‘streets of Baltimore’, USA, Emily has travelled and worked as a Youth Worker in various capacities in Ireland, Italy, South Africa, the UK and the USA. When not hanging out with SpunOut.ie’s young people, Emily is busy stretching on the yoga mat, experimenting in the kitchen with delicious vegetarian cooking and keeping active with sports, especially outdoors.
In her own words: “Emily here just wanting to send a big ‘hello’ or a ‘wasssupp?!’ as they say at home in the States to everyone out there. I’m the gal given the fun and exciting challenge to reach out to young people, stir up as much interest in SpunOut.ie as humanly possible and facilitate dynamic participation to help make SpunOut.ie bigger and better with young people leading the way. I’m always on the go, and love to keep my body and mind moving. A gruelling workout or getting lost in a good book while curled up fireside both float my boat. After skydiving from 10,000 feet over the Indian Ocean in South Africa a few years ago…ahhhhhhh… I’ve felt confident to take on any challenges that come my way- bring it on!!!”
