My name is Glenna Mannion, hailing from Tulsk, Co Roscommon. I am 28 and am absolutely privileged to be representing my home from home as the 2024 London Rose.
As the youngest of four siblings, I aim to make my parents and family proud in everything I do. I've been in London for the past eight years and am deputy manager and service coordinator of a residential home for young people with autism. I aim to provide the highest quality of care so that they leave us stronger and more resilient in the next stage of their lives.
Living and working in one of the most multicultural cities in the world has exposed me to different experiences, languages, and cuisines. Travel is one of my great interests, as well as meeting new people from all walks of life and embracing different cultures. I have also had the opportunity to learn and grow in ways that may not have been possible if I was still living in Roscommon.
I am very proud and absolutely thrilled to return home not only representing London, but also Roscommon. I can't believe I am making my dream of being on the stage in Tralee a reality.
