Tyrone – Genevieve Scullion

My name is Genevieve. I am from Killeeshil, County Tyrone. I am 22, seventh in a family of four boys and four girls. I love to design, play music and Gaelic football and travel. I recently finished my degree in Interactive Multimedia Design at Ulster University, with a year’s placement in a Digital Marketing Agency. I’ve enjoyed working on wonderful projects for local charities, friends, schools and individual businesses by designing promotional material, wedding stationery and websites. Designing the Michaela Foundation Girls’ Summer Camp Journal has been my favourite project. I am honoured that nearly 4,000 campettes record their camp experiences in the journal annually. Teaching and working with the Massai tribe in Africa inspired me and I am glad to have been welcomed into a variety of organisations including Dromantine Summer Camp, Michaela Foundation, Rise of the Roses and Friends of Africa. I am a trustee of TanzaniAid, a registered charity founded by my sister Clare. I help out at events hosted by these organisations and I appreciate the opportunity to create concepts and designs for them. With a passion for music and singing, I enjoy getting the chance to perform regularly in The Black Cat, a fine local Restaurant and singing at weddings with my sisters and friends. I represented our GAA club singing solo and in ballad groups in Scór competitions. I’ve played Gaelic football in successful teams from primary school to college level alongside my twin sister Anne and our lifelong friends, winning County, Ulster and All Ireland titles.
