About me

After leaving Secondary School, I went on to study English and Geography at NUI Galway, followed by the Postgraduate Diploma in Education (Post Primary).

I taught both subjects for two years along with one to one teaching. I enjoyed both experiences, large classes and the individual work. This experience prompted me to study Career Guidance Counselling at Ulster University as I found the one-to-one work hugely rewarding.

I have since had the best of both worlds as a teacher and career guidance counsellor. I have spent the last ten years working in education and gaining a deep understanding for the individuals I have worked with.

By using my unique skillset, I will help you to achieve your goals and reach your full potential. I will help you to follow the right direction for your life. Outside of my career, I’m also a busy mum who enjoys spending time with family. In my spare time, I love walking and shopping. I do love a nice handbag or pair of shoes. I am also partial to following a few bloggers in relation to home interiors, baking and beauty products.
