BIO

Is as Baile Átha Cliath mé. Fuair mé BA (Gaeilge & Gearmáinis, 2006) agus MA (Scríobh agus Cumarsáid na Gaeilge, 2007) ó UCD. Bronnadh PhD orm in 2015 as tráchtas dar teideal 'Athbheochan na Gaeilge agus an Spórt in Éirinn, 1884-1934'. Is iad na réimsí taighde is mó is spéis liom ná Athbheochan na Gaeilge, go háirithe na gnéithe idirnáisiúnta di, Stair an Spóirt, an tAistriúchán agus an Náisiúnachas.

I am from Dublin. I was awarded my BA (Modern Irish & German, 2006) and MA (Scríobh agus Cumarsáid na Gaeilge, 2007) from UCD and received my PhD in 2015 for a thesis titled 'The Irish Language Revival and Sport in Ireland, 1884-1934. My areas of interest include the Irish Revival, particularly its international aspects, Irish Sports History, Translation, and Nationalism.
