Introducing: Pierce

Name: Pierce Kehoe
DOB: 14/05/1993
From: Dublin, Ireland

Background
I did my undergraduate in European Studies in Trinity College Dublin, with one year spent on Erasmus in Sevilla in Spain. It was a really broad course, where I did two languages (Spanish and Russian) as well as topics in history and philosophy. After college I did a marketing/events internship with Red Bull where I had the pleasure of working on some of the coolest and wackiest sports, music and entertainment events I’ve ever seen. I then did an administration job which was not my cup of tea (and I love tea) and then came to GLOCAL.

Why GLOCAL?
With my background I have a rather Eurocentric worldview and GLOCAL is an opportunity to gain a wider perspective. I am really interested in the challenge of keeping local cultures alive while embracing the vibrancy of diversity that comes with globalisation.
(Also the opportunity to study and travel was a plus.)

Interests
I find it hard to write this without sounding like a listening comprehension exam but:
I like music, sports, art, languages, films, pub quizzes…
I have a dog and two cats.
I have three siblings, a brother and two sisters, and I am the youngest.
I just realised I put my pets before my brothers and sisters and I hope that doesn’t reflect badly on my character.

Much credit must go to Robin and Louise for organizing, and those who couldn’t make it can be sure that there will be many more weekends away over the next two yeaIntroducing: Pierce […]
