Want us to call you? Let’s start a conversation!
WHAT DO YOU DO?
After completing my law degree in 2017, I began my career in finance recruitment, gaining valuable insight into the industry and the types of roles that would later shape my professional path. In 2020, I joined CavanaghKelly (now Cooper Parry) to begin my training contract, working across Audit and GRC before qualifying with Chartered Accountants Ireland in 2024.
I then moved into industry, joining the Treasury Team of a global food manufacturing group, where I broadened my commercial and operational finance experience. In 2026, I returned to practice and now work within Cooper Parry’s Forensics Team. I support the preparation of expert reports across a wide range of legal and business matters.
WHY DO YOU DO IT?
I love learning new things and taking on new challenges, which is a big part of why I decided to return to practice. Working with different clients across a variety of industries keeps things interesting—no two jobs are ever the same, and there’s always something new to discover.
WHATS ON TOP OF YOUR BUCKET LIST?
Outside of work, I love all things sports! I’ve tried plenty over the years, but Rugby and CrossFit are my favourites. I’m also attempting to enjoy running… slowly… with the aim of taking on a half marathon this year.
Travel is another big motivator for me. I love getting away, exploring new places, and squeezing in as many adventures as possible. I’m hoping to tick off a few more countries this year.
