I’ve lived in Ringsend my whole life. My family home is over 120 years old. I love writing, reading, and I paint pop art & abstract and enjoy anything creative. Adore Halloween. Completed a Level 5 full award in Business Admin & IT in Ringsend College and finished my Level 6 Train the Trainer from Google in the Fair Play Cafe in November 2021. I am a mother of a teenage son and now is the best time for me to use my writing skills and see what I can achieve starting here in NewsFour as a Journalist/Researcher. I am so excited in starting this new chapter and looking forward to meeting all my new colleagues. In my down time, I like to play tennis, love my PlayStation & watching old movies, going off on rambles around Sandymount beach, and I love a good laugh..
