The travel bug has always been in David Muldoon’s blood. After studying Commerce in NUI, Galway, David decided to spread his wings and visit Spain, but after being offered as position in Navan, he returned to Ireland where he spent a year as a marketing executive.

However it wasn’t long before David felt like a change of pace. He decided to leave his job and go travelling. Before leaving, he completed a course on teaching English as a foreign language and after touring the world, he returned to Barcelona where he began teaching Business English to companies in the city.

“Barcelona is a great city; it was a great experience and nice to get away and experience a different culture. But I was always going to return to Ireland, so when I got offered a job teaching at the Atlantic Language School in Galway, I made my mind up to come back,” he says.

Charity work had always been something that David had been interested in and, following his return home, he decided to do something about it.

David has now held the position for six months and his enthusiasm is still evident. He says that, as the role of community fundraiser was a new one, it entailed a lot of hard work to get things up and running.
