Bio:I guess I’m a late developer. I never won a schools title or the community games, although I have been second in both. I went to the European Juniors in Grosseto 2001 and I think I was last overall in the 800meters. Things started to turn for me in 2006 where I qualified for my first majors, The European Champs In Goteberg and in 2007 I qualified for the World Champs in Osaka again over 800meters. My biggest achievement to date would have to be the 800/1500 double at the Irish Seniors Champs last summer. Qualification wise I’ve an honours B.A. in Finance and Economics from NUI Maynooth and an honours M.Sc. in Finance and Capital Markets from DCU. I’ve also worked as a sports massage therapist for over 5years and treated several Olympians. I now train full-time and am based in Ireland several months of the year in Kilcock, co. Kildare. I’m now coached by Nic Bideau, a World-Class Coach from Australia, partner of Sonia O Sullivan,
