Get to know me
Passionate educator with global teaching experience; NZ, Japan, UK, and Ireland
I’m a runner bee – member of Youghal Athletics. Best time in a race : Ballycotton 10 mile in 71m36sec. I run for sanity, clarity, and pure enjoyment.
I did a stint as a travel writer in South America – my article on South American bus journeys featured in an online top 10. I truly believe in the capacity of storytelling to connect, engage, inspire and entertain.
My first business was a vintage styled mobile afternoon tea business. I learned an incredible amount about myself and what I was capable of through the challenges and successes of that quirky business adventure.
