A woman with straight, shoulder-length hair and bangs is smiling at the camera. She is wearing a dark, long-sleeve, zip-up top. The background is plain and light in color. The photo is in black and white.

I joined The Wheel as European Programmes Officer in 2021 and took on the role of European Programmes Manager in 2024. I oversee the delivery of Access Europe, a support and capacity building programme for the community and voluntary sector around accessing and managing EU funding.

This involves researching EU funding opportunities that are relevant to the sector and The Wheel’s members, coordinating and delivering training and events related to EU funding, and assisting organisations in building relationships with potential EU project partners.

Prior to joining The Wheel, I worked in career guidance at the Ballymun Job Centre and Ballyfermot Chapelizod Partnership where I was involved in various Erasmus+ funded EU projects. I also have a strong background in workforce development and training/facilitation in soft skills and job readiness. In my free time, you can find me rambling in the Dublin/Wicklow mountains or experimenting in the kitchen.

Please feel free to contact me with any queries at [email protected].
