About
I was born in Belfast and lived there until I was 18, before moving to Dublin to study at Trinity College.
A brief stint in the Irish film industry after I graduated was followed by a move to London where I’ve spent much of the past 20 years working on a range of TV shows such as Have I Got News For You and Parkinson.
The pandemic revealed how keen I was to explore my real passion for for my homeland and I’m currently completing an online Irish Studies diploma at NUI Galway.
Having the opportunity to work with Irish in Britain is a true privilege and I look forward to our 50th Anniversary project, celebrating Ireland and its diaspora and how this island and its heritage continues to make such a vast mark here in Britain and beyond.
