I'm the middle of three girls. We grew up in sunny Sandycove and I loved it. We had such a fun house. My sisters and I are extremely, and luckily, close. My older sister, Anna, lives five minutes away and our younger sister, Gemma, lives in New York. We all become teenagers again when we get together.

I think that what I do suits my personality because I genuinely love people. My earliest memory is of when I was aged three and in my granny’s house in England, where we stayed a lot, and I was standing on a bed in my pyjamas waving at people. I remember it like it was yesterday. I just love meeting a stranger and sometimes ending up friends.
