Yeah so firstly, thank you for asking me to discuss my journey to date. I am a professionally qualified social worker following the completion of my master’s in 2017 from Trinity College Dublin in Ireland. Before this, I completed my social science degree from University College Dublin. I have been working in different areas (From across the lifespan) of social work since the completion of my master’s. I come from a family where both my parents worked in the caring professions – nursing and family support. Furthermore, I volunteered for several years with different services including Samaritans Ireland, Dementia Ireland, and HSE Mental Health Services.
