“I was so scared to live abroad for the first time. I was moving to a place where I knew nobody and I was worried about so many things! But, taking that chance was the best decision I have ever made and I’m so excited to now be there for students during their first study abroad experience!”
Education
Sinéad holds a BA in English Literature and an MA in Creative Writing from University College Cork. She also has her TEFL Certificate, which allows her to teach English as a foreign language.
Travel Experience
Sinéad spent a year of her BA studying at the University of Exeter in England. Her experience living in England inspired her to move to Thailand for a year in order to teach, travel and write. Although she has moved back to Cork, she still hops on planes to visit as many places as she can.
Did You Know?
Sinéad can stop reading a book at any random point, not continue reading it for a few years, and then pick it back up and remember everything that had happened in the book before she stopped reading.
