By 13 she was homeless, pregnant at 14, lost her mother tragically at 16, yet went on to achieve her Masters in Accountancy at 22. At the age of 24, she achieved her Chartered Accountancy Exams at the first attempt.
Following her appearance on RTE’s Late Late Show in 2018, she established the charity, Empower the Family, with the mission to support disadvantaged young people to successfully complete their University Education.
