Captivated by horse racing from a young age, my passion for the sport set the stage for a career dedicated to training racehorses. After leaving school and spending some time working in London, I decided to pursue a lifelong ambition and entered the horse racing industry eight years ago.

My first role was with Brian Meehan as Pupil Assistant at the world-renowned Manton stables. Here I undertook a one-year apprenticeship, initially devised for graduates of the Irish National Stud. The program included extensive work placements covering all aspects of racing including the British Horseracing Association, racecourses, experts in equine behaviour, bloodstock agents, racing public relations and equine veterinary practices.
