Achievement in wellbeing / a life time of commitment

While her 'day job' is as a Digital Skills Lecturer at Maynooth University, her contribution to the national wellbeing conversation is immeasurable.
Through her best-selling memoir Poor, Katriona has given a voice to the voiceless, sparking a crucial dialogue about the trauma of poverty and the resilience required to survive it.
She goes the extra mile by actively running the STEM Passport for Inclusion program, mentoring working-class women to enter corporate and STEM careers. She doesn't just talk about wellbeing; she builds the ladder for others to access it.
