I am a friendly assertive professional with over 20 years of experience promoting integrated care pathways for marginalised individuals and communities. My work focuses on creating seamless, whole-person healthcare supporting individuals across the full care trajectory, from primary to tertiary services.

I am a Psychology Major Graduate with a Postgraduate qualification in Science and a Master’s Degree in Psychotherapy & Counselling. I have also earned multiple professional qualifications in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Life and Whole Health Coaching, and Veteran Care. I have an extensive family history in the Irish Defence Forces and I have served as a Non-Commissioned Officer with the Medical Corps.  My father and my husband both have also served . I currently sit as the Chairperson of a  branch of Óglaigh Náisiúnta na hÉireann.

Based in Ireland, I am an author, poet, and veteran support officer. My writing is deeply rooted in lived experience and shaped by the themes I care most about: mental health, military life, and poetry. These threads come together in my first published work, Letters from the Soul, Vol. 1 which is a heartfelt collection of poetry that gives voice to untold stories and personal journeys, and Letters from the Soul Vol 2 Lost in the Shadows A Collection of military poetry that is memory inspired by those who served.

Beyond the page, I am committed to helping veterans heal, grow, and find strength in their own stories. Whether through literature, advocacy, or support services, my mission is simple: to bring connection, compassion, and courage to the forefront of everything I do. Currently I serve a Veteran Support Officer (VSO) for Óglaigh Náisiúnta na hÉireann (ONE). In this role I provide critical services in veteran homes and support centres. My responsibilities include assisting veterans in accessing permanent accommodation, improving mental health, and preventing homelessness.
