PhD Researcher in Communications and Media, School of Communications, Dublin City University
I am a PhD Researcher in Communications at Dublin City University, focusing on sports media. I was a 2022/2023 Fulbright Scholar at the University of Maryland, conducting research at the Povich Center for Sports Journalism. I received my Bachelor’s in Journalism in 2017 followed by my Master’s in Social Media Communications in 2019.

I have worked for a number of years as a sports journalist, and have been published in national publications like The Journal, Irish Times and Ireland's state broadcaster RTÉ. I was Editor-in-Chief of my university’s newspaper and was named National Press Journalist of the Year at the National Student Media Awards. I was awarded News Journalist of the Year at the Hybrid Media Awards and named on SportforBusiness.com’s ’30 Under 30: Young Leaders of Tomorrow’ in 2018.

I took part in the Washington Ireland Programme in 2021 and recently completed a sports policy traineeship with the European Olympic Committee at their EU office in Belgium. I am a Board Member for the International Association for Communication and Sport (IACS) acting as Graduate Student Representative. My research interests are sport, media, journalism and communications.
