Biography

A worker in the community sector for over 20 years, this is her first time running for election. She has an Msc in sustainable development and specialises in community education and awareness. She is involved with a number of local organisations in her area and volunteers with a local animal charity.

Question time
Why should someone vote for you (in 140 characters or fewer)?

With 20 years in the community sector I have seen first hand how those without a voice are excluded. I will ensure those voices are heard.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Creating employment through a green economy will have knock on effects on youth employment, infrastructure and lifting people out of poverty.

What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?

I intend hosting a stakeholder conference on the way forward for Donegal. I will fund this myself and include people from all sectors.
