I started a food blog in 2009 to learn how to cook and since then I have written about food and travel for The Irish Times, The Irish Independent, The Sunday Times’ HOME supplement, The Guardian, and Totally Dublin. I co-founded the video recipe series www.forkful.tv and have worked as a food stylist across print, digital, and TV.

I’m the author of a book about burnout called Slow at Work:How to work less, achieve more, and regain your balance in an always on world, which was published by Gill Books in 2018. My second book, a cookbook called MESSY, was released out with Blasta Books in October 2025.

In 2015, I accidentally created my dream job by founding the Sing Along Social, singing parties for people who can’t sing. By harnessing the power of cheesy pop music, I’ve been DJing at weddings, festivals, and private parties.

In 2024, I hosted my first daytime Sing Along Social disco at a nursing home in Clifden, Co Galway. It was one of the most rewarding and impactful gigs I had ever done. Since January 2025, I have been retraining as a healthcare support assistant and volunteering with elderly people and people living with dementia in my community. Thanks to funding from Creative Ireland in 2025 and 2026, I have been able to bring the daytime disco to nursing homes and care facilities all around Connemara.

I am a certified career coach specialising in confidence, creativity, and craic, with a Diploma in Personal and Business Coaching from the Irish Lifecoach Institute, an International Coaching Federation accredited course.

I was the Co-Director, Programme Curator and Community Manager of Turkfest, a community-led arts and music festival on a small island called Inishturk, home to 58 people, off the west coast of Ireland.
