Responsibilities: I support the long term sustainability of Cuilcagh Lakelands Geopark by delivering initiatives that protect our environment, strengthen local communities, and celebrate the region’s rich natural and cultural heritage. My role focuses on embedding environmental and social sustainability across all Geopark activities while enhancing how visitors and residents experience this unique landscape.
Working in a cross border capacity, I lead on community engagement, capacity building, and partnership development throughout Cavan and Fermanagh. I am responsible for designing, delivering, and evaluating community programmes, events, and Geopark Ambassador initiatives, ensuring the Geopark remains deeply rooted in the people who live and work here.
Through ongoing collaboration with local groups, volunteers, and special interest communities, I help foster awareness, support stewardship, and create opportunities for meaningful participation in the future of the Geopark.
Five words to describe myself: Friendly, Creative, Resourceful, Fun, and Grounded.
What is your favourite site within the Geopark?
My favourite site within the Geopark is Gortalughany Viewpoint, with breathtaking views of Cuilcagh Mountain and a great view over Upper Lough Erne, with all its drowned drumlin islands spread out below – you get a clear view of everything the Geopark strives to protect, across the borderlands.
