I love hearing human interest stories and also sharing them across my platforms. Why? Because someone might just click on a story, an interview, or a blog I have shared and it will be exactly what they needed to hear. I share so many different subjects from Alzheimers, writing processes, profiles on companies, travel and hotel reviews, film/book reviews, press releases and so much more.  I  interviewed over 37 people in a variety of industries during the many lockdowns in the pandemic and in 2022 self-published my first book which was a collection of interviews with leaders in business, community & the arts. I have found that ordinary people have extraordinary stories and just need a helping hand to let readers know how they coped with their challenging experiences.

I loved writing pieces for the Dun Laoghaire Gazette and Futura Communications working on their trade publications Menswear and Footwear in Ireland. I also had articles published in the Irish Independent about my mother’s Alzheimers, U Mag, Ireland’s Own, and numerous online sites.

I achieved a Post Grad in Learning and Teaching for Further Education/Adult Education in 2019 which boosted my career choice and gave me another avenue to explore. I was facilitating a weekly Creative Writing class in my local community pre-pandemic and brought my writing course online to help people stay well, mentally, through writing about how they were feeling about the pandemic, etc.

I am a firm believer as a parent that we can teach our children to think outside the box creatively by expressing themselves through writing, drawing, painting and telling stories vocally or in a creative format.  I hope I have been instrumental in my children’s creative abilities by watching me through my work, in particular, working from home during the pandemic.

For my own creativity and well-being, I love to swim in the sea and continue to do it in the winter months, as long as my hands don’t get frostbite  My happy place is by the sea and watching the sunrise with my children.
