I qualified in 1981 from Trinity College Dublin. I completed a Masters in Manipulative Physiotherapy in 1992 in the University of  South Australia. On qualifying I worked in Baggot Street Hospital, St. James Hospital, and St. Josephs Hospital Raheny. I then worked in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia before traveling to Adelaide, South Australia to study Manipulative Physiotherapy. On my return from Australia, I began to work in Private Practice in Raheny. I now have over thirty years of experience treating a variety of musculoskeletal and sports injuries. I attended the Barcelona Olympics (1992) as a Physiotherapist with the Irish Canoe Slalom Team and traveled around Europe with the team for many years. 

Over the years I have lectured in TCD, UCD, and in hospitals all over Ireland. I continue to learn through Continuous Professional Development – Courses, Journals, Peers and Conferences. I am a Board Member of the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists for the last four years. Before this, I was the Honorary Secretary of The Chartered Physiotherapists in Private Practice for five years. I have also sat on the committee of Chartered Physiotherapists in Manipulative Therapy and Chartered Physiotherapists in Sports Medicine.
