Summary
I hold a 2nd Class Honors Grade 1 degree in Psychology from Dublin Business School, where I developed a strong foundation in psychological theory and research. Alongside my academic achievements, I have excelled in football, contributing to teams in both the League of Ireland and the Leinster Senior League. As captain of my school and college teams, I played a key role in securing multiple cup and league victories, demonstrating leadership, teamwork, and a passion for sports.
My professional journey has been shaped by diverse work experiences, which have honed my communication and interpersonal skills, allowing me to collaborate effectively within teams. Motivated and hardworking, I strive for success in every endeavor.
Currently, I am enrolled in the Sports and Performance Psychology Master’s degree at the University of Amsterdam, deepening my expertise in mental performance coaching, psychological interventions, and research methodologies. Additionally, I have completed a certificate course at Dr. Becky Spelman's Private Therapy Clinic in London, gaining practical, hands-on experience that has further enriched my understanding of psychological concepts in real-world therapeutic settings
