I’ve worked hard for my community since I was elected in 2019. People contact me every week and I do my best to help resolve their issues. I  work closely with a number of resident associations, business groups and tidy towns organisations in my area.  I’m also a member of the Dún Laoghaire Town Team and the Local Policing Committee.

My proudest achievements as a Councillor include:

• campaigning for the Living Streets project in Dún Laoghaire
• organising and delivering Dún Laoghaire’s first St. Patrick’s Day Parade in 50 years
• securing €150,000 for the skatepark on the West Pier in Dún Laoghaire
• securing funding for the Dún Laoghaire Comedy & Storytelling Festivals
• proposing the street art in Dún Laoghaire
• campaigning for Maternity Leave for Councillors and working to secure its introduction, and
• representing Fine Gael on the Citizens’ Assembly for a Directly Elected Mayor in Dublin

I’ve had a longstanding interest in politics and current affairs.  I worked as a Policy and Research Officer for former Taoiseach, Enda Kenny TD, as a Press Adviser for former Minister for Justice, Alan Shatter TD, and a Special Adviser for former Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Heather Humphreys TD.

After politics, I worked for Ibec and Hume Brophy for a number of years. I currently work as a full time Councillor.
