During her undergraduate years, she conducted research at NASA Johnson Space Center in tissue development for the International Space Station. She then pursued medicine at Trinity College Dublin, one of Ireland's oldest universities, graduating with honors.

She is passionate about identifying underlying causes rather than treating symptoms in isolation.
