Proudest Volleyball Achievement: Playing in the UK schools cup with UCD varsity teams. Finishing 5th one year against some top UK college teams.
Volleyball Career Goals: To play another 10 years either on the beach or on the court.
Random Fact: I don’t like tea but I like dunking biscuits in tea
#1 Female Role Model & Why? My mammy. She works hard, she cycles everywhere, she still does karate and she tries new things even if they’re outside of her comfort zone. She’s a wonderful volunteer and an even better volleyball supporter. She never lets anyone down but knows her value. I try to work as hard as her everyday, and if I come home and fall asleep sitting on the couch then I know I’m pretty close.
Sporting Hero: I could pick from loads of sporting greats, present and past but I don’t think you need to be famous to be heroic. My aunt is one such individual. To give you some idea, she decided to do an Ironman after retirement and she succeeded! She runs, cycles, swims and remains one of the most active people I know.
Favourite TV Show: Game of Thrones
Favourite Song: This will change depending on the day, the mood, the weather. Today it’s Sucker by The Jonas Brothers
Favourite Food: I couldn’t pick one
Favourite Drink: Butlers Cookie Hot Chocolate
I love Volleyball Because I used to say I hate loosing more than I love winning, but now win, loose or draw I just love to play with UCD. Volleyball is family, and those girls are as good as it gets.
