I am a highly experienced specialist in Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE), with over 20 years of experience in primary and post-primary education. My passion lies in equipping young people, parents, and educators with the skills needed to navigate relationships, intimacy, and sexuality with confidence and clarity.

Throughout my career, I’ve delivered more than 400 RSE programs in over 65 schools across Ireland, directly impacting over 15,000 students and 10,000 parents. Currently, I conduct an average of 40 RSE programmes annually, provide Parent Information Evening and Workshops, Teacher Training —all tailored to foster a supportive environment for open communication about sexuality.

My qualifications include a Doctorate in Childhood Studies, a Master's with Distinction in Applying Psychology to Education, a B.Sc. in Health Studies (First-Class Honours), and a Diploma in Health Studies. Since 2006, when I began my journey at Queen’s University Belfast, I have focused on the critical aspects of sexuality education, including adolescent behaviour and effective communication strategies for parents.

In addition to my academic credentials, I have extensive practical experience as a certified facilitator for various parenting and sexual health programmes. As a public speaker and advocate for evidence-based RSE, I’ve presented at numerous academic events, emphasizing a collaborative approach that empowers young people with the knowledge and confidence they need for healthy relationships.

I am committed to bridging the gap between schools and families to foster safe, informed environments that promote positive sexual health and decision-making among Ireland’s youth
