I was born and educated in Thurles, Tipperary. Like everybody from the country, I spend my Sunday’s during the hurling championship stuck to the Sunday Game. I played camogie, hockey and volleyball. After school I studied chemistry in college and worked as a lab tech for a few years.  I’ve had a few careers, banking, secretarial, marketing and advertising.  After returning from living in Israel, I fell into a job in media.  For the last 15 years, I’ve worked in advertising in print media and radio.  I travelled extensively and still enjoy exploring other cultures and countries, my favourite is Cuba.
