As an Environmental Architectural Technologist, Cultural Economist, Scholar, Entrepreneur, Author, Motivational Speaker, mother, wife and Budget Coach. I have always worked around issues that have affected me in one form or another; like run for local council in Galway city, Ireland, when I was directly affected by not having a playground close to my home. A former Council Housing representative for the community; working on housing policies (hence my Architectural background). My role in co-ordinating the first Ms Ebony in Ireland Pageant (Featured on Irish National TV Programme: Pobal). This stems from the desire to work with the community and address social-cultural and economic issues.
