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.

Class of 2020
Subjects studied at A’ Level: Maths, Geography, Technology & Design, and BTEC Engineering (South West College)
Post School Pathway: MEng Civil Engineering, Newcastle University, including an industrial placement year with GRAHAM Construction
Current Role: Graduate Civil Engineer, GRAHAM Construction
After leaving ERGS in 2020, I moved to Newcastle to study Civil Engineering at Newcastle University. During my degree, I completed a placement year with GRAHAM Construction, where I had the opportunity to work on the Leith Outer Berth project in Scotland. The £50 million project forms part of Scotland’s largest renewable energy hub, supporting the development of offshore wind energy. It was my first experience of working on a project of that scale and gave me a real appreciation for the role civil engineers play in delivering major infrastructure projects.
Following my placement year, I returned to Newcastle to complete my degree before going on to study for a Master’s in Civil Engineering. The combination of university life and practical experience helped confirm that engineering was the career path I wanted to follow.
University wasn’t all lectures and assignments, though. I was a member of Newcastle University Boat Club and had the privilege of competing at the Henley Royal Regatta, which was undoubtedly one of the highlights of my time there. After rowing, I took up rugby again during the 2023/24 season, having also played throughout my time at school. Balancing sport alongside school and university taught me a lot about managing my time and making the most of the opportunities available. More recently, I have developed a passion for endurance sport and, in 2025, completed Ironman Copenhagen, as well as taking part in several other Ironman events.
After graduating, I returned to GRAHAM Construction as a Graduate Civil Engineer and am currently based in Dundee, working on another offshore wind project. It’s been great to return to a company that played such an important role in my development during my placement year and to continue building my career in an industry that is contributing to the future of renewable energy.
Looking back, my time at both Portora Royal School and ERGS helped shape the person I am today. The support and encouragement I received from teachers gave me the confidence to pursue opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. Whether it was through academics, sport or extracurricular activities, school taught me the importance of working hard, getting involved and being willing to step outside my comfort zone.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned since leaving school, it’s that you don’t have to have everything figured out straight away. Being open to new experiences has led me to opportunities I never would have imagined when I was sitting in the classrooms at Portora and ERGS. From moving away from home and competing at Henley to completing an Ironman and working on major engineering projects, it’s been an exciting journey so far, and I’m looking forward to seeing where it takes me next.
