She was born and raised in Annaghmore, County Kerry, moved to Cork City to study childcare (hated it) and care of the elderly (loved it), then worked in a care home before moving to Aberdeen to pursue a career in nursing. When she moved to Aberdeen, she found inspiration from Aberdeen Writers' Circle and Dead Good Poets. Books and Beans is now her second home. Watch out for the girl with the short brown reddish hair and charming smile! She is here to write poetry.
