My name is Brónagh Hogan, I'm 25 years old and from Killegney, Co Wexford. It is a dream come true to be the 2023 Wexford Rose.
In 2019, I graduated with a Bachelor of Education from Mary Immaculate College and I teach in Kilrane NS, Rosslare. I have a grá for learning, which led me to pursue a Graduate Certificate in Autism Studies and a Masters in Special and Inclusive Education. One day, I hope to undertake a doctorate and become an educational psychologist.
One of my other main passions in life is the stage. I have been performing since the age of four, from musicals to Scór na nÓg. Most recently, I was involved in Wexford Drama Group's production of The Father, which we were lucky enough to perform in The Abbey Theatre. I also love to travel, my most memorable experience being volunteering with the Badjao tribe in the Philippines.
I am overwhelmed with the support the people of Wexford have shown to me during my Rose journey and I am beyond excited for the adventures that lie ahead as the Wexford Rose.
