About me
View profile

In my 20s, I trained at Dublin's Gaiety School of Acting while attending law school, leading to a career as an investigative lawyer specialising in sports investigations and financial crime. The pandemic prompted me to return to acting, retrain & I was accepted to London's prestigious Questor’s Theatre, where I was cast in 3 productions. For logistics I now focus on TV and film. Alongside my dual careers, I've been an avid horse rider since childhood, representing Ireland in FISU Nations Cups.
