Hey there! My name is Aisling O'Connor. I am 25 years old and come from the beautiful Feakle in Co Clare. I hold my local community and its wonderful people very close to my heart. Therefore, I am beyond humbled to be a representative for my county, parish, and family as the Clare Rose at this year's Rose of Tralee International Festival.
For the past three years, I have worked as a primary school teacher in Crumlin in Dublin. While it really has been a truly fantastic couple of years, I bade (a bittersweet) farewell to the capital this June and am looking forward to starting a new adventure working back home!
Being the eldest of six children (and the only girl!), my role as a sister has always been important to me. Growing up surrounded by my brothers has taught me resilience, kindness, and a whole lot of patience!
In my free time, I love walking, going to the gym, and occasionally pulling out the dancing shoes to relive my childhood passion!
