Debby Ugoiwa

DCU '26

Hello! I’m currently a student at Dublin City University, studying Law and Media. My academic interests sit at the intersection of communication, culture, and justice, and I’m particularly drawn to how media shapes public opinion and social change. Through my studies, I’ve developed strong research, writing, and analytical skills, alongside a growing curiosity about media ethics, representation, and storytelling in both traditional and digital spaces.
Alongside my degree, I’m actively involved in student media. I contribute to my college newspaper and host my own radio show, experiences that have helped me build confidence, creativity, and a strong editorial voice. These roles have allowed me to explore topics ranging from pop culture and social issues to student life, while also learning how to engage diverse audiences in an accessible and thoughtful way. I enjoy working both independently and collaboratively, especially in fast-paced, creative environments.
Outside of education, I enjoy dancing, particularly modern jazz, which has been a constant source of joy and self-expression in my life. I also love music, conversations that make you think (or laugh), and projects that bring people together for a good cause. With an Irish-Nigerian background, I’m deeply interested in identity, culture, and communication, themes that often influence both my academic and creative work.
Overall, I’m a curious, motivated, and enthusiastic individual who enjoys learning, creating, and connecting with others.
