I am Chief Bottlewasher of www.sportswomen.ie, a website promoting and reporting women's sport in Ireland.

I hold a Degree and Ph.D in Analytical Chemistry, coach hockey and teach piano.

I was a hockey International goalkeeper for 10 years and I enjoy triathlons, sailing, golf and anything that gets me out in to the fresh air.

I'm a mother of 5 children and when I get time I enjoy sitting down with a housey magazine,digging in the garden or playing the piano or clarinet.
