Summary

I am an ambitious and driven engineering student at the University of Limerick, with a strong passion for problem-solving and innovation. I am committed to building a solid foundation in engineering principles and developing practical skills for the future. Outside of academics, I actively participate in sports, playing both hurling and football, which have honed my teamwork, discipline, and leadership abilities. I am eager to apply my growing knowledge and skills to challenging projects and contribute positively to any team or organisation.
