Hi there! My name is Kelsey Lang McCarthy, I am 22 years old and live in the beautiful, picturesque town of Cahersiveen. I am thrilled and honoured to be representing my county, The Kingdom, as this year's Kerry Rose.
I am currently a student going into my final year of studying podiatric medicine in the National University of Galway. It is a very broad and rewarding career, as no day is the same as the last. My goal for the future is to work as a paramedic in the ambulance service and continue to pursue podiatry in my own practice.
Coming from a musical family, I love singing and playing the guitar. I have been incredibly blessed in the past, having had the opportunities to sing at festivals, events and for President Michael D Higgins on numerous occasions.
As well as my passion for music, I love to travel, meet new people, and embrace new cultures and opportunities. My dream is to travel the world and make as many memories as I can, which will undoubtedly include the unforgettable experiences and friendships I will make on my Rose of Tralee journey.
