I left ERGS in 2020 during the start of COVID - crazy times.
I studied Biology, Chemistry and Business Studies at A’ Level.
After ERGS, I joined Queen’s University Belfast to pursue a degree in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology. Between my second and third year, I undertook a placement year working as a Pharmaceutical Analyst for Almac in Craigavon. I finished my degree with First Class Honours and received two awards sponsored by the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry for Best Research Project and Overall Distinction in Final Year Studies.
After finishing my degree, I applied for - and was awarded - a scholarship funded by the Department for the Economy to pursue a full-time research-based PhD. I started in 2024 and my project focuses on breast cancer research.
Outside of academia, I have supported my sister in growing her business, Enniskinn, which opened its second store in Enniskillen last week. We manufacture all of our products in Enniskillen and now have over 100 wholesalers across the world, mainly across the UK and Ireland. My Business Studies A’ Level with Mrs Donnelly has definitely been useful at times!
When I have the time, I enjoy sailing, with my most ambitious trip so far being an English Channel crossing from Southampton to La Rochelle in France. I obtained a Day Skipper licence for yachts up to 80ft and I’m hoping to complete a transatlantic crossing in the next few years. If I wasn’t any good at science, I would most definitely be a sailor!

Year I left ERGS: 2019
A” Level subjects studied: Technology and Design, Mathematics and Business Studies (Spanish at AS Level)
Pathway after school: Started university in September 2019 whilst working part-time in my family business as Assistant Shop Manager
University attended: Queen’s University Belfast
Course studied: Business Management with Placement (4 years)
I started at Queen’s University Belfast in September 2019 and enjoyed a few months of a “normal” university experience before COVID-19 brought a sudden shift to online learning in March 2020.
During my time at university, I was awarded Top Business Management Student (2019/2020) and Top Student for History and Philosophy. I also completed the Degree Plus Award for Future Ready Skills in Management before graduating in 2023 with a First Class Honours degree.
After graduating, I was approached on LinkedIn about an opportunity that led to me joining the Oil Market Journal (OMJ) as Business Development Manager in Enniskillen in September 2023.
Although I have always lived at home in County Tyrone, I am very grateful for the opportunities I have had to travel with work, including visits to Dubai, Spain, Italy, Poland and Germany, as well as across the UK and Ireland.
Outside of work, I help out in my family business and volunteer both as a Girlguiding leader and as a youth club leader within my church. Through Girlguiding, I have also enjoyed incredible experiences, including spending a week as part of the crew on a Tall Ships yacht and, more recently, completing the Queen’s Guide Award — the highest award available within Girlguiding UK.
I am very grateful to both the Collegiate and Enniskillen Royal Grammar School for providing me with such a strong foundation and for encouraging the values of hard work, resilience and determination from an early age.
