“Raised in a small rural town in Donegal, Ireland, I realised at a young age that Ireland did not have the resources or opportunities I needed to succeed. I worked day and night to earn my place at The University of Notre Dame. Now that I am here, I am working to fill my tool belt with all of the skills I need. I will continue to work tirelessly to do what I want to do.”
