Hello there! My name is Anne-Marie, I'm 26 years old, and from Carrickmacross, Co Monaghan. I am incredibly honoured to represent the "stony grey soil of Monaghan" for the 2024 Rose Festival.
Last year, I graduated with a Master of Education in Primary School Teaching from Hibernia College. I now work in an all-girls primary school in Dublin's northeast inner city.
I love singing, dancing, hiking, and going to the gym. While I enjoy the diverse experiences Dublin offers, my heart will always be in Monaghan, where I cherish time with friends, family, and my lovely dog, Marley. I'm passionate about my community's vibrant culture, especially our love of country music - I am no stranger to getting up for a jive or two!
I love to support both local and national charities and am passionate about volunteering. Last year, I completed two half marathons, raising significant funds for the Carrickmacross Cancer Society, a cause that is extremely dear to my heart.
Representing Monaghan in the Rose of Tralee is something I have dreamt about since I was a wee girl. I am really looking forward to the journey ahead, meeting wonderful new people and creating lasting memories.
