Just a Minute with... Joy Umeh
Name: Joy Umeh
Job Title: Graduate Xline Consultant
My background: I went to Maynooth University and studied International Business and French. I guess the French doesn't really relate to my job role, but a language is always a valuable skill to have!
First app checked in the morning? That depends, if I walk to work, I check the weather app - I'm not a fan of walking in the rain. If not, then the first app I'd check is TikTok. It's a bad habit! It's part of my New Year's resolution to use it less frequently.
What's your favourite travel location? I visited quite a few cities in France when I studied there in 2021/22. But my favourite location would be Carcassonne in the southern part of France. The city has a medieval castle/ fortress (Cité de Carcassonne) which gives it a magical vibe- I felt like a princess!
Are you a coffee or tea person? I'm a tea person but only herbal teas (peppermint and green tea)! Nothing else.
What three items would you take to a deserted island? I'd take my Bondi Sands Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50, a good book (preferably anything romance or crime) and lip-gloss!
What do you love about the job? I love my team. They have good banter, and everyone gets along really well! It's great working with a group like that!
