Year I Left ERGS: 2018
A Level Subjects Studied:
Business Studies
Physical Education
Biology
After leaving ERGS in 2018, I began studying Business Management at Ulster University in Jordanstown while also working part-time at ‘The Midway Stores’ in Letterbreen.
I started university in 2018 and thoroughly enjoyed the experience - perhaps a little too much at times! However, like many people, my plans were interrupted in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Wanting to give back during such a difficult period, I spent a year working at the COVID Centre in Enniskillen. This role allowed me to develop valuable interpersonal skills including teamwork, empathy, communication, and swabbing!
The following year, I returned to my studies with renewed focus and graduated with an honours degree in Business Management.
For the past two years, I have been completing my accountancy exams and am proud to say that I am now fully qualified and no longer a trainee!
Alongside my academic and professional journey, rugby has remained a huge part of my life. I am a proud member of Enniskillen Rugby Club and recently played a key role as “pack leader” in helping the club achieve promotion to the All-Ireland League (AIL) for the first time in its history. I was also shortlisted for the club’s “Man of Steel” award for three consecutive years.
I strongly believe in giving back to the club that has given me so much, and I currently coach the Enniskillen Rugby Club Under-16 side.
I am very grateful to ERGS for helping develop both my passion for rugby and the academic foundations that have supported my career journey.
