Affiliations

  • Sports Enthusiast – I enjoy watching football and rugby, whether at home or travelling to matches. I also know a little bit about table tennis as well through my brother playing when he was in a wheelchair.
  • Sewing and Creativity – In my spare time, I enjoy sewing and colouring which allows me to relax and express creativity in a focused, patient way.
  • Promoting Gaeilge – I have a strong interest in the Irish language and culture. I place high value on building students’ confidence in Gaeilge throughout the year, especially during events like Seachtain na Gaeilge, where I actively promote participation and pride in the language.

Additional Support

Growing up with a brother who lived with disabilities throughout his childhood instilled in me a deep sense of empathy and a desire to help others—especially students who face educational, emotional, or personal challenges. I strive to build a supportive classroom environment where every student feels valued, capable, and understood.
