Summary

Diligent and hardworking professional with a keen interest in the life sciences industry. Proven ability to work collaboratively in a team and off my own initiative in countless experiments during my time in university.

I am currently completing my final year in Maynooth University, and am currently in the early stages of my thesis.

I am dedicated to my sport of dressage and in the training of horses. I have represented Ireland internationally on consecutive occasions including being a member of Team Ireland at the Pony Dressage European Championship in 2016 and 2018. I am currently running my own business producing and training dressage horses during my university studies.
