I’m 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 from Dublin City University and I hold a Postgraduate qualification in Science from Atlantic Technological University, and currently a Master’s Degree in Psychotherapy. I’ve also earned multiple professional qualifications in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Life and Whole Health Coaching, and Veteran Care.

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 — a heartfelt collection of poetry that gives voice to untold stories and personal journeys. 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 the Irish Defence Forces' charity, 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. I have an extensive family history in the Defence Forces. I have served as a non-commissioned officer with the Medical Corps.  My father, served, and my husband, previously served with the 12th Infantry Battalion. I currently sit as the Chairperson of a  branch of Óglaigh Náisiúnta na hÉireann.
