• I’m most proud of triumphing over adversity and using it as a catalyst to help others in my life.

• If I could have any superpower it would be mind-reading. I would have the ability to deeply understand and share the feelings and perspectives of others, making it easier to connect with people, build trust, and effectively continue to advocate for change.

• I’m inspired by two phenomenal women, my mother who showed me that women can do it all, and the Director General of the World Trade Organisation, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who is an exceptional role model to girls everywhere.

• If I had to describe myself in one word it would be resilient.

• I’m happiest when I am making a meaningful difference in someone’s life.

• I can’t live without my cardigan. Ireland’s weather has a special talent for giving you a warm embrace in a chilly way!
