I’m currently a final year joint honours student in DCU! I’m studying history, world religion and theology. I’m also a childminder to a family of 3 kids. I find childminding to be a very challenging yet rewarding job to do. I’m part of what is shaping these children’s minds, and I find that fascinating.
As a history & religion student, I like to keep an eye on politics and the world around me. From studying history, I know what has happened in the world that should not be repeated. from studying religion, I have an understanding of the why people do what they do. Religion is a very prominent reasoning behind decisions in many countries, and it is the driving force behind their decisions.
Some of my personal interests are cars, I’m my father’s daughter. I get this from my Dad, who owns 4 cars of his own and spent every weekend of my childhood dragging me from garage to garage to have a browse. Now that I own my own car it has allowed me to join him in his enthusiasm and have discussions and input when he buys his own. One of my favourite things to do with him is go to car meet ups and listen to him tell me every detail about each car.
I also love interior design. As our house is being rebuilt right now I’ve been put in charge of all interior planning and decorating. This has really broadened my design and creativity skills. It has highlighted the highs and lows of homeowning, rebuilding and the struggle to pick things you like in a world where there are 1000s of options in everything.
The highlight of my week is being with my partner, whom I’ve been with for over 3 years. We have a semi long distance relationship, which has presented its own challenges that we always overcome. I find relationships to be very complex, unique things and I frequently discuss this with my peers.
My final passion is travel. I have been traveling since I was a baby and I strongly believe that people can feel deep connections to places that aren’t their home. I think its important for people to travel as much as they can, to experience cultures and tradition that they do not experience in their country.
