I have a Masters degree from the University of Limerick in Comparative Literature & Cultural Theory. I have worked in the University of Limerick for the last 12 years in various support roles, currently acting as Executive Assistant to the Dean of the Kemmy Business School. For five years I ran a successful music blog and was the co-founder and editor of a national arts and culture publication. I have contributed articles to many online media sites and publications and currently review ARCs for various national and international publishers. My main interests lie in learning behaviors, online and blended learning, student engagement, social media, online language and contemporary literature. I also run great events. I am a wife, mother, avid reader, enthusiastic baker and sporadic exerciser. I love music, hiking, true crime podcasts, tea and the sea.

As an avid viewer of TED talks, I began to explore the possibility of bringing TED to UL in September 2018 and discovered the TEDx programme. I had a serendipitous meeting with two UL students who were interested in the exact same project and had already come up with a brilliant theme. We joined forces as organizers and brought TEDxUnversityofLimerick to the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance in UL on 18 June 2019. I loved the entire experience and following the event's success, applied to attend the TEDWomen conference in Palm Springs in December 2019. I am now bringing TEDxUniversityofLimerick to a larger audience in May 2020, with the help of my co-organizer, Erin King.
