OUTSIDE WORK
A few things I love.
Water sports, yoga and music.
ON & UNDER THE WATER
Sailing, diving, swimming.
Regular swimmer, SSI Advanced Adventurer scuba diver, and sailor throughout Chile, Spain and Ireland.
Sailing has led to a few podium finishes, being part of the organising team for the IE Regatta in 2024 and 2025, creating the VR Sailing Programme, competing in the 2026 Irish 31.7 Nationals, and many other great experiences.

YOGA
A different kind of practice.
500 hours of yoga teacher training in Rishikesh. An adventure that gives perspective in life and highlights respect as a fundamental value.
CHOIR
Singing together.
Choral singing has an element of commitment and expression, where the result is better because we practise and persevere together. It is one of the most beautiful disciplines I’ve found.
