I have always worked hard for everything I have. In school I did OK, I could have done better, and I didn’t make it to 3rd level education until I was 36yrs old! And so now as an adult I am always challenging myself, to learn more about what I do day to day and explore new opportunities and educate myself on other interests outside of day to day work. I love Art, Cooking and Exercise, all so different to my role in The Echo, and I go for a walk or run every morning and listen to books and podcasts, this really helps me focus and is a great way for clearing my head of life’s stresses.

My mistakes through life are what have made me the strong person I am today, don’t ever look back at the hard times, just move forward and learn from it.

You as the next generation of business owners, employees, teachers, Gym instructors, Beauticians, Carpenters, Scientists and everything in between, have the world at your fingertips (literally)! Use that mobile phone to learn, educate yourself on what you might like to do in life, for communicating in the right way. Your access to the world around you is amazing and you can become an amazing person with it.

I am very proud of having crafted a life and a career in Ireland, starting from scratch, not knowing anyone and having very basic English when I first arrived (many moons ago).

Fast forward to the present day and I now have a wonderful family, a very good job that allows me to grow and work on projects that I care about, and friends all over the world.

‘I would have to break this down into the personal, professional and political.

Professional and personal achievements for me are always around education – I come from a Council housing estate where it was not the popular or done thing to go to third-level education. I received a really brilliant education and it is something that I value hugely and have allowed me to be the professional that I am. My biggest political achievement was winning my seat in the last election against all of the odds – I was odds on to lose my seat and my team and I worked through huge adversity including losing my sister to suicide during the campaign.’

Inspiring women from the world of STEM came together to share their stories and offer advice to students on how they can succeed in these fields too. It was such an empowering experience and we’re thrilled to have been a part of it! At Inspiring the Future Ireland, we’re committed to igniting a passion for science and technology among students, and events like these are just the beginning. Stay tuned for more updates and join us in creating a brighter future for Ireland![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]
