Education and Personal Life

In 2018, I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Economics and German. As part of my bachelor, I also studied psychology for one year. This experience sparked the interest that has stayed with me ever since. Little did I know that, in 2022, it would be the world of psychology and coaching in particular that I would want to return too.

As Steve Jobs said, “You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.” I have derived great confidence from that quote as it is a reminder that no experience is wasted and can be relevant in our next step.

In 2017, I studied for one year in Hannover, Germany, through the Erasmus programme. My time in Germany was one of the most important and transformative of my life. I was fortunate to make many friends from all around the world, travel to many new cities and gain a new sense of independence and confidence by living abroad and navigating everyday life in a foreign language. I often look back on my year abroad as the moment in time where I started to become the person that I am today and left behind the version of myself who at best was “just getting by and a bit directionless,” rather than the more confident, happier and more purpose-driven person I am today in 2025.

In 2018, I met my future wife Julia, when we started the same job on the same day. We instantly hit it off and moved in together just a few months later. From the outside it seemed like a crazy thing to do, but there was no doubt in my mind it was the right decision. We got married just under 5 years later in June 2023 in Kinsale. We live with our dachshund Pablo and cat Willow, and are enjoying gradually becoming coastal people.

In my free time, I love photography. I enjoy visiting and photographing new cities to capture the different architectural styles and atmosphere of a new place. I also enjoy sea swimming, tennis, and I am currently learning how to surf. Lastly, I am also a Manchester United fan, which has taught me a lot about patience in recent years.
