“I am very proud to join a global force for change, and make history for Ireland at the same time. I am particularly proud as a hard working business woman and part-time educator who is humbled to hold a position that influences, mentors and makes a positive difference in people's lives. We do this on the board out of sheer passion and love for making it right.
