General Interest

General
NATIONALITY SWITCH
She represented Ireland in the 49er FX class at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, but in January 2017 she began competing for Great Britain. She is eligible to sail for the British team through her father, and decided to make the switch after her Irish crewmate Andrea Brewster retired following the 2016 Olympic Games. "There wasn't an option here in Ireland in the 49er FX with another girl who had the experience to sail at the same level, to be competitive and win a medal in 2020. Once a class becomes established, experience counts more than anything else. It's not been easy personally for me. I'm so proud to be Irish, I will always be Irish, and I absolutely couldn't have been prouder to represent Ireland at Rio 2016." (afloat.ie, 01 Oct 2019, 06 Jan 2017; irishtimes.com, 06 Jan 2017; offtheball.com, 06 Jan 2017)

CREWMATE
She and her sailing partner Charlotte Dobson began competing together in the 49er FX class in January 2017. "I think that myself, along with Charlotte Dobson, gives us a strong combination going forward to achieve what we both individually want."
