Summary

I am a second-year Law and Human Rights student at the University of Galway, with a strong academic foundation, a commitment to fostering social change, and a passion for advocating for democracy and the rule of law. Actively involved in leadership and collaboration, I contribute to a multitude of organisations and societies. I bring excellent communication and teamwork skills to every role I undertake. I am committed to exploring the intersection of legal systems, human rights, and political communication. With experience in research, writing, and media, I aim to contribute to creating accessible, citizen-centric analyses that bridge the gap between complex legal concepts and public understanding.
