I am an IT technician and consultant with years of experience working with personal computers, laptops, tablets, mobile devices, printers and network devices.In December 2015 I set up my own company to provide IT support to homes and small businesses across Tipperary and the surrounding counties. Over the course of 9 years I provided this support across a wide variety of industry sectors; including education, retail, professional trades, agriculture, hospitality and office environments. I pride myself on being highly adaptable and quick to learn, which are essential traits when one day you are in a large office providing software troubleshooting, and the next in a milking shed upgrading a 15 years old PC.This experience also provided an excellent opportunity to hone my administrative and clerical skills, running an entire business single handed for nearly a decade. From client records to financial reporting, I balanced these day to day tasks with the demands of my technical work.Public service is extremely important to me, and I have volunteered with a number of charities and community groups. I am currently the Company Secretary for North Tipperary Disability Support Service, a charity funded by the HSE and empowering people with disabilities across North Tipperary. I have held the same position with SCEAL Society Limited since 2018, promoting social inclusion and community development in the parish of Lorrha & Dorrha in Tipperary. In 2017 I was a founding member of Lorrha Community Responder Group, dispatched to critical medical emergencies by the National Ambulance Service. Between 2017 and 2020 I responded to over 50 such emergencies, ranging from cardiac arrests to strokes. Between 2018 and 2020 I also served as a CPR instructor to the group, certified by the Irish Heart Foundation and the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council, additionally providing free training to community groups and clubs across the area.
