Therese McKenna

Freelance journalist. MA student in Motion Graphics, LYIT

I began my career in 2002 as a news sub-editor and columnist with The Irish News in Belfast. Three years later I took up a full-time arts journalist position at Metro Dublin. Following a year-long stint in Berlin and touring as a musician, I returned to Ireland to freelance for a time (Sun & NotW, Belfast Telegraph) before assuming the role of style editor at Metro Dublin. I went on to freelance for clients including The Irish Mail on Sunday and DK Travel. I've written for titles including The Irish Times & Independent. In 2010/11 I spent a year-and-a-half as staff copywriter with PCC, a creative agency for progressive non-profits.
