About me

I’ve played rugby ever since I was 5 years old. It has always been a huge part of my life in terms of making friends, who became part of a second family. It also helped me learn how to be disciplined and put myself on the line to help the team move forward. It’s a sport which has given me so much that a small paragraph really couldn’t do it justice. Coming to IE, it seemed too strange to simply stop playing, so I created the IE Rugby Club with some friends and I must say, captaining the team over the past 4 years has been a pleasure.

"When we step into those four white lines, the switch flips. Fifteen becomes one. In that moment we need trust. It takes time to build, but seconds to destroy."

Being at IE University, I’ve really learned how to come out of my shell. I’m naturally a very introverted person, but being in such a diverse and open-minded environment has helped me get rid of my insecurities and just be unreservedly me. I can never thank IEU enough for everything it’s done for me.
