Personal statement

I was born and raised in Mayo in the Republic of Ireland and got my undergradute degree in Mater Dei Institute of Education in Dublin where I qualified as an RME and English teacher. Following my degree, I obtained a Masters in Public Relations from Dublin Institute of Technology. 

I then travelled to Glasgow, originally signed to a record label where me and my band gigged the length and breath of the UK and Ireland. I was an RME teacher in a school in South Lanarkshire and taught core and certificated Religious Education classes from S1-S6 for 19 years. 

I then joined Strathclyde Institute of Education as a Teaching Fellow for RME and have supported, mentored and taught RME to students both at Postgraduate and Undergraduate level.
