I’ve played Gaelic football and hockey over the years. I’ve done lots of travelling and also had the opportunity to work in Malta for 8 months and Belgium for 5 months which I loved! I certainly made the most of being near lots of different European cities.
I am currently a PhD student at the University of Limerick meaning that I carry out research work with pharmaceuticals. I completed my four-year undergraduate degree in Pharmaceutical and Industrial Chemistry in 2020 and then started my four-year PhD. I’m nearly finished my PhD research work at UL and next I plan to go travelling in Australia and Asia for 3 months before returning to work in a pharmaceutical company which I’m really looking forward to!
