A COUNTY Donegal girl has just returned home from a dream two week holiday in Barbados after becoming the face of SpecSavers in Ireland and the UK – and now she’s landed a dream summer job with a local marketing, design, web and PR Agency.
Ardara marketing student Maria Gildea is just 21 – and millions of people can see her face on the opticians’ website and advertising sites throughout these islands.
And for the next year as she also pursues a career with top model agencies MOT in London and Assets in Dublin, she will also have fashion and lifestyle guru Gok Wan as her mentor.
Maria, in her third year of her marketing course at LYIT, has started her marketing career with Grace Ann Consultancy based at CoLab, Letterkenny Institute of Technology.
“I’m really enjoying my work with Grace Ann,” said Maria.
“It’s been an incredible few months. I went along to the audition for SpecSavers with a friend and ended up being asked to model.
“I won a wonderful trip to Barbados; it was five-star all the way and I’m now on the books of a modelling agency in London and Dublin.”
