About Me
[edit | edit source]

I recently graduated from the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland with a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy. I have come to Physiotherapy following a career in Sport for the last 15 years, working predominantly in the field of Paralympic Sport. I have always had an interest in Physiotherapy and through my work have worked closely with some brilliant physiotherapists. So I decided to return to education and complete my degree in Physiotherapy. I currently work as National Classification Manager with Paralympics Ireland.
