Our Team

Climate Connections UG is a student-led, interdisciplinary initiative at University of Galway. We started with a core team and continue to grow, driven by a passion for storytelling, collaboration, and climate action. We work closely with student societies, UG staff, and community leaders, all of whom inspire and support us along the way.

Environmental scientist and social scientist, committed to sustainability.

Fun Fact: Ran student newsrooms, film teams, and radio programs, but still can't decide on a favorite medium.
