Hi! My name is Grace, I am 23 years old and I am the Longford Rose for 2023. I have lived in Longford all of my life and I am so honoured to be representing my county in the Rose of Tralee International Festival.
I am a Registered General Nurse and currently doing my Higher Diploma in Midwifery. I am studying in Trinity College Dublin. As part of my studies, I also work in The Coombe Hospital.
Becoming a midwife has always been my dream job, it is such a privilege to help bring new life into the world. I have delivered 31 babies so far; I still get emotional every time!
I love being active. I enjoy the gym, Pilates, and walking my dog, Freddie. I am extremely close with my family, some of whom live in Tralee, and the are very excited for August!
I have been in Tralee many times during the festival, but I am thrilled to be a part of it this year. I am really looking forward to the festival, meeting new people, and enjoying the experience with all of the other Roses!
