Career highlight to date: National indoor and outdoor Long Jump champion, World Athletics U20 Championships finalist 

Aims for 2024 season: My aim for this upcoming season is to break the 8m barrier and to Qualify for the Europeans held in Rome but  the ultimate goal for me is to qualify for Paris Olympics and leave a print in Irish athletics as ‘ Irelands first long jump representative at the Olympics’.

How will the Jerry Kiernan foundation help me achieve these aims: With the generous help from the Jerry Kiernan foundation, costs of travel, gear and making sure I fuel right taking care of. I can focus solely on training hard and jumping far for this exciting season that’s ahead of me.
