Who am I?
Living in one of the most beautiful parts of Wicklow, I get to enjoy lots of family walks through woods, hills and by the rivers with my wonderful hubby Craig, our two gorgeous girls, Calandra and Qiana and our little pooch, Neo (who always leads the way).
I love to run in Avondale Forrest Park in the early mornings where the only sounds are that of the early birds and woodland creatures (and myself and my sister-in-laws chats). It has to be one of the most invigorating experiences for which I’m very grateful.
I recently took a few months away from work to stay home with my family, recharge and reset and it was an amazing opportunity for which I’m very thankful to Metec for giving me.
Since my return, I feel like I’ve come home again and I’m really enjoying getting back to where I feel I belong.
My weekends and most of my evenings are spent at the side of a pitch or running track, where my girls enjoy playing LGFA, Camogie or training for races. There’s no where else I’d rather be. I always try to be actively involved in whatever clubs my children are in and have been Childrens Officer for their Camogie club for the past 4years.
We also enjoy attending GAA, LGFA, Soccer and Rugby matches, concerts and the odd musical or play.
I’m an avid reader and enjoy the rare quiet moments snuggled on the couch, with a nice glass of something and a good book.
