I am from Ireland, but now living in Columbia, SC. I grew up in a suburb of Dublin called Finglas. It is on the northside of the city and is a heavily populated, predominantly working class area. I graduated from University of London with a degree in Law. After graduation, I lived and worked in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates for 3 years. Following that I spend almost 1 year in Canada before moving to the US. I have been in the US since 2004. I am currently a graduate student at Columbia International University, training to be a clinical counselor. I am now a counselor in training (intern) at the Christian Counseling Center of First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, SC and thoroughly enjoying it!
