Start:

Reason:

She originally became involved in athletics as a hobby after she followed her older sister into the sport. She also played tennis, hockey and Gaelic Athletic Association sports. "I didn't like [athletics] much back then, but I love it now. Athletics got a bit more serious as I got older but I was always just doing it for fun, alongside doing other sports. Athletics is important to me and I put a lot of time into it but I don't think you can let it be everything. Hockey was a great distraction but I can always go back to it." (hersport.ie, 08 Jan 2020)

Ambition:

To compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (Instagram profile, 08 Jul 2021)

STAYING IN IRELAND
After she graduated from high school in 2019, she decided against taking up an offer of an athletics scholarship in the United States of America and accepted a scholarship programme with University College Dublin [UCD] in Ireland. "I definitely feel I have all I need here. Obviously having my own coach [Eoghan Marnell] here as well. The main thing for me is my coach. I know he can get me where I want to be and I wouldn't want to be coached by anyone else. And living in Dublin too, quite close to college, I didn't think there was much to gain in going to America."
