Experience
October 2026 — Present
Customer Operations Intern @ Phorest
Dublin · Salon software (SaaS) · phorest.com
- I was lucky enough to get to use the software in the years prior to joining the company, and what Ronan and the team have built is incredible.
- I'm excited to contribute to the growth and success of Phorest's customer operations team.
May 2026 — Present
Business Development Lead @ FamWorld
- FamWorld is an Irish startup that connects international students with host families across Ireland.
- It's been a brilliant experience getting involved in all parts of the business, and I feel very privileged to work alongside Rohan and learn from him along the way.
Present
Student Coordinator @ Hebe Education
- Hebe Education was founded by my mum after years of hosting international students in our home. She saw a gap in the market for an experience that was genuinely better for students and their families, and built a business around it.
- Having grown up around the business, I've always naturally helped out, and now I coordinate students during their time in Ireland.
2025 — 2029
Computer Science & Business @ Trinity College Dublin
Dublin
- I'm studying CS & Business in Trinity because I wanted both sides: how to build things, and how to turn them into companies.
2019 — 2026
Founder @ Rachie Bakes
Clane, Co. Kildare · Started at 12
- At 12 I started Rachie Bakes, selling cakes and brownies from home in Clane.
- It grew through Instagram and word of mouth into shipping all over Ireland through my online platform, employing home bakers and supplying coffee shops.
- Later I turned it into baking classes for kids.
- Rachie Bakes, as featured in Kildare Now and on the Jennifer Zamparelli Show on RTÉ.
Present
Tutoring Economics, Maths & Spanish
- Tutoring Leaving and Junior Cert students in Economics, Maths and Spanish.
- My love for Spanish comes from years of exchanges and family holidays in Spain.
Summer 2026
Running for Jigsaw 13.1 miles for youth mental health
Dublin City Half Marathon
- I ran the Dublin City Half Marathon to raise money for Jigsaw, the youth mental health organisation. Mental health is something I really care about.
- There's still a stigma around talking openly about it, which is why I really admire the work Jigsaw (and other mental health organisations) do to support people and make these conversations more normal.
- I've always been into fitness and wellness. Running has really been an amazing challenge and escape for me .

“You can do whatever you want to do, you can be whatever you want to be. I believe in you.”
— OD. My parents instilled this belief in us from a young age, and my dad said it to us every night. Dad, you'll always be my hero.
“The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.”
“You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.”
