After studying architecture at university and working in the conservation sector my love for the outdoors led me to the Instructor Development Programme at Tollymore National Outdoor Centre. Here I gained both qualifications and experiences leading groups in our iconic outdoor destinations, from walking the hills and climbing the rock, to kayaking in local rivers and paddling along our seacoast. Currently I am the Orienteering Co-ordinator for Orienteering Ireland, but I also work as a freelance outdoor instructor and coach. Both roles provide the opportunity to engage with a wide variety of people with differing experience levels and interests which I find incredibly rewarding.
