Profile

About

I love the work behind the curtain: organising supporter-facing events, coordinating people and suppliers, and keeping every detail right. Having directed an Arts-Council-funded community choir, produced my own fundraising recitals, and built lasting relationships with hundreds of students, I bring strong organisational and communication skills, and a genuine enthusiasm for opera, to everything I take on.

A soprano myself (performing with the Maynooth University Chamber Choir, soloing on RTÉ Lyric FM, and singing repertoire from Italian art song to new commissions), I pair that first-hand artistic understanding with careful administrative and archival work, including a digitisation placement at the Irish Traditional Music Archive.
