  • Description

    I was born and raised on a farm in the beautiful South West of Ireland, happy and outgoing which gave me a strong appreciation for rural life, nature and community.

    I have a diverse professional background, having worked in administration and office roles, as well as in areas such as the Post Office. I hold a Master’s degree in Interactive Media and have a strong knowledge of computers, technology, videography and multimedia.

    Following the Covid pandemic, I completed a TEFL course and began teaching English online, adding another dimension to my professional experience.

    Currently, I work in electric bike rentals, meeting people from all over the world and helping them enjoy the local area. I also provide care and companionship for an elderly lady, a role I find rewarding.

    As a mature, independent and sociable woman, I enjoy meeting new people, sharing experiences and learning about different cultures. I am adaptable, practical and happy to lend a hand wherever needed. I enjoy connecting with people from different backgrounds and would welcome the opportunity to experience new ways of life while sharing a little of my own Irish culture and background.

  • More details about your skills

    I grew up on a farm, so I have a good understanding of farm life and practical work.

    I also have hands-on experience in painting, tiling, varnishing, basic carpentry and general home improvements, having learned many of these skills informally from family members over the years.

    I am qualified in computers and have experience in design, marketing, event management, English, office administration, accounts, aviation and the post office. I have also worked in hospitality and am currently teaching English online.

    My background is varied, and I am practical, adaptable and happy to learn new skills and help wherever needed.
