I am a CORU-registered physiotherapist and PhD researcher in the School of Allied Health. My research is examining the feasibility and acceptability of an intergenerational movement to music programme for the health and wellbeing of older adults and teenagers. This project has received funding from Research Ireland (GOIPG) and the PPI Ignite network (Health Research Board).

I graduated in 2023 from the BSc. (Hons) in Physiotherapy in the University of Limerick and I completed a certificate in Intergenerational Practice through Generations Working Together, in conjunction with the University of Granada, in 2024.

I have a keen interest in the role of arts for health, intergenerational practice, and the co-design of research through public and patient involvement (PPI). I have previously worked as a research assistant and as a physiotherapist on arts for health programmes. This included a music and dance programme for Men’s Sheds, where I worked alongside dancers, musicians, and music therapists.
