About Me

Hi there, I’m Grett (it’s short for Margaret) and I’m originally from North Kerry. I live near Macroom, Co. Cork with my husband Ger and our five children. We also have five border collies and a shedful of dairy cows.

I love English but I’m also fluent in Irish. For 20 years, I was a television journalist with TG4 and RTE based in Cork. As well as my news reporting work, I made four Irish-language documentaries for TG4 during that time. I also presented the late night political panel discussion show ‘The Late Debate’ on RTE Radio One for two seasons.

I left RTE Cork in 2018 and set up my own business, My Media, based in Macroom. During Covid, I got the opportunity to produce and present a TV documentary about general medical practice. Yes, they were tricky times to be filming in GP surgeries and hospitals, but we did it. The finished product was called ‘Vital Signs’ and it went out on Virgin Media 1 television in July 2021.

Another exciting project I worked on in 2022/23 was a short film called ‘We Will Believe You’, a collaboration with all the frontline services in Kerry helping victims of domestic abuse. It was my first time producing a film, and it was a great experience. I learned a lot, and I met some great people.

I usually work from home, producing or presenting videos and giving media or communication training courses. I also did a lot of public relations work for one of our local TDs. He has retired now, so I have more time for other projects.

I love working on a really powerful video – whether it’s doing the work behind the scenes to make the finished product exactly what the client wants, or standing in front of the camera myself to get the right message across.

There is nothing I like more than watching someone grow in courage and confidence as they stand in front of a camera. I spent years standing in front of cameras every day. I know the tips and tricks that make the difference.

And I also know the power of good videography in telling a story – they say a picture tells a thousand words but a minute of excellent video speaks volumes.

It’s my privilege to help people bring their stories to life, every day.
