I’m a 22-year-old student in my final semester of Sport and Exercise Science, with plans to continue my studies with a master’s in physiotherapy. Sport has always been a big part of my life—I’ve been playing Gaelic football for years and love being active. I’ve also had the opportunity to coach football in national schools, working with young children, which I really enjoyed. That experience, along with my passion for helping others, has inspired me to pursue paediatric physiotherapy in the future.

I’m half Irish, half German, and speak fluent English and German, with an intermediate level of Irish. I grew up on a farm, surrounded by horses, pigs, goats, and dogs, which taught me compassion, patience, and time management from an early age. As the eldest of three children, I’ve always had a strong sense of responsibility, whether helping at home or looking out for my younger siblings. My family also hosted au pairs and exchange students, so I’m very familiar with welcoming new people into our home and forming strong bonds. I would describe myself as outgoing, chatty, and friendly—I love meeting new people and building connections. I enjoy spending time outdoors, whether it’s exploring new places, traveling, or simply staying active. I’m responsible, hardworking, and committed to any job I take on. Having worked with children before, I know how to engage with them in a fun and caring way while also maintaining structure and responsibility. I love being part of a family environment and would be excited to share my culture, language, and love for sports with the children I care for.
