“After spending some time considering changing careers from finance to the fitness industry I finally decided the time was right, and enrolled with College of FET Kilkenny as I knew it would afford me the opportunity to do so. During my time I have learned much and have made some great contacts that will benefit me greatly in the future. I am excited about what the future holds and really appreciate all the possibilities College of FET Kilkenny has created for me.”
