I grew up in Dublin, Ireland. After graduating University I went into education and became a teacher for children with special educational needs. However, my love for cooking kept growing, when Will began working in the charter industry I jumped at the opportunity to go with him and become a chef on board.

I always dreamed of attending the world renowned Ballymaloe Cookery School to expand my culinary skills, which finally became a reality in 2021. The intensive 12 week course taught me so many new skills and gave me invaluable experience. I plan on studying cooking further this summer in the Ashburton Yacht Chef course. I love learning new techniques that I can bring into my galley. My biggest passion is creating food that brings joy to my guests and makes their holiday that little bit more special.
