Upon returning to Ireland, she earned a diploma in TV Production and subsequently directed, produced, presented, and edited a weekly magazine show broadcast on SKYtv. Judie also worked as an editor on RTE's longest-running hidden camera show, "The Fear," and was part of the small team behind the box office hit "The Young Offenders," which became the fastest Irish film to reach the one million euro mark at the box office in 2016. Her expertise in video production led her to speak at MojoCon, the world's largest mobile journalism conference, where she shared insights on filming a pilot TV show using the iPhone and discussed setting up The Vidacademy. In addition to her work in video production, Russell lectured part-time at University College Cork's Economics Department, specifically in the Communicating Economic Reasoning module.
