    Mini Bio

    Living in Galway, I’ve always felt a deep connection to Ireland’s wild landscapes. With a background in fashion design and a lifelong love for the outdoors, I’m drawn to creativity and adventure, which naturally led me to a career in guiding.

    I love sharing Ireland’s rich history, rugged beauty, and hidden gems, whether a remote mountain trail, an ancient ruin, or a windswept coastline. When I’m not guiding, you’ll find me hiking new trails, getting involved in conservation work, or seeking the best scenic viewpoints. I believe the best adventures are those that combine nature, storytelling, and a sense of discovery. I can’t wait to welcome you to Ireland’s incredible wilderness!

    I’ve always loved travelling and discovering new places, people, and cultures. I have explored much of Europe and spent three months in India. More recently, I hiked the volcanic hills of the Aeolian Islands, but the biggest adventure by far was trekking the highest points in Vietnam.
