Personal Details

Bio

I’m an entrepreneur, educator, and startup operator, combining hands-on experience with a passion for teaching. I’ve lectured at the University of Limerick, the University of Cambridge, and Queen’s University Belfast, where I’ve taught across topics in entrepreneurship, education, and mathematics.

As the Chief Operating Officer of a growing tech startup, I work daily on building teams, solving operational challenges, and helping founders navigate the realities of early-stage company growth. I’ve delivered multiple talks, workshops, and guest lectures, and I regularly mentor early-stage startups as they develop their ideas and go to market.

My speaking style is practical, factual, and grounded in lived experience. I focus on giving audiences real frameworks, clear explanations, and actionable insights they can use immediately—whether they’re students, founders, or anyone interested in entrepreneurship, education, maths, or building something new.

Leaning Into Risk: What I Learned Building a Startup at 21

At 21, I made the decision to leave college, co-found a startup, and take on the responsibility of building and running a business long before most people feel “ready.” In this talk, I share the lessons, realities, and mindsets that shaped those early years—from navigating uncertainty and learning fast, to developing the resilience needed to lead while still learning who you are.

This session is designed for students, young professionals, and anyone standing at a crossroads. I focus on how to evaluate risk, make confident decisions without overthinking, and turn youthful inexperience into an advantage. Audiences walk away with practical frameworks, honest insights, and the encouragement to pursue ambitious ideas earlier in life—before hesitation takes over.
