She’s a double graduate of Trinity College Dublin’s Samuel Beckett Centre for Drama and holds a Masters in Literature. Her grandfather was the celebrated Irish scholar and author Gerard Murphy best known for his work, Early Irish Lyrics, which has been an inspiration for poets since its publication over 50 years ago.
