For the past 3 years I have been coach/trainer on the Mullinahone LGFA junior, intermediate and senior teams, reaching junior and intermediate All Ireland finals in both 2022 and 2023. The intermediate final was the first All Ireland ladies club final to be held in Croke Park. Some of my proudest moments include
- Being awarded junior hurler of the year in my secondary school Presentation Ballingarry at 15 years of age
- Winning a south Tipperary senior hurling championship in 2019
- Being honored to captain my club senior hurling team in 2020 at just 20 years of age
- Competing two consecutive Tipperary county A under 21 hurling championships in 2021 and 2022
