Sporting relatives:

Her partner Arthur Lanigan-O'Keeffe competed for Ireland in modern pentathlon at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games. (extra.ie, 12 May 2020)

2010 for Ireland, World Cup in Mexico (Athlete, 23 Jul 2016)

In 2013 she missed six months of competition after she was diagnosed with relative energy deficiency in sport [RED-S], a condition where people have insufficient caloric intake and/or excessive energy expenditure. She developed long-term fatigue by accidentally under-fuelling when training. (independent.ie, 25 Apr 2019)

She took up the sport in 2009 at age 18 in Dublin, Ireland. (Athlete, 23 Jul 2016)

"I started doing the tetrathlon [running, swimming, shooting and riding] at my pony club. I competed internationally in this and naturally progressed from there and thought 'sure, why not pick up a fifth sport'." A friend introduced her to the fencing element. (balls.ie, 23 May 2019; UIPM, 18 Jul 2012)

To win a medal at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (thesportschronicle.com, 10 Jan 2019)

Irish hurdler Derval O'Rourke, Irish boxer Bernard Dunne and her father. (Athlete, 23 Jul 2016; olympicsport.ie, 20 Jul 2011)

Philosophy:

"When it gets tough and you do not think you can push harder remember that no pain will be worse than the regret later." (Athlete, 23 Jul 2016)

PARTNER SUPPORT
She has trained with her partner and Irish modern pentathlete Arthur Lanigan-O'Keeffe for many years and she feels it has helped her development. "We've got closer over the years, yeah. It spurs me on when Arthur does well. We've done the same training. Even the whole way up through our careers, at 16 and 17, I was always thinking if there were no girls that were training, whatever the boys are doing, I can do."
