Media
I’ve done a fair amount of media appearances, across TV, radio, print, online, podcast, and webcast, on the local, national, and international level. I was profiled in the TV3 Ireland documentary Unbreakable: True Lives (2017). Partly as a result of my own experience with the media, I became an academic researcher and consultant on best media practice involving trauma survivors, but I am happy to engage with the media on other topics like books, film, travel, and gender inequality.
