Dia dhaoibh! My name is Megan McCormack, 25 years young, from Gurteen in beautiful Co Sligo. I am honoured and humbled to represent my home county in the Rose of Tralee Festival 2024.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Gaeilge & English at University of Limerick and have just completed a Master's Degree in Primary Education with Hibernia College. I am fortunate to work as a substitute primary school teacher across various schools.
I am a keen footballer and play Gaelic football with my club Eastern Harps, Co Sligo Ladies' Gaelic Football Association (LGFA), and soccer with Gurteen Celtic. I have taken my LGFA roots abroad to Chicago, playing with Erin's Rovers for a summer. Coaching is another passion of mine, both at Cúl Camps across the county and within my club Eastern Harps. I enjoy running, music, horse-riding, and trips to the Gaeltacht, which enhanced my love of Gaeilge.
My family and community are inspirational to me on this journey and I'm grateful for their supportive encouragement. I advocate for grasping all opportunities and looking towards the brighter side! Here's to sharing this experience among other inspiring Roses and embracing all of what representing Co Sligo has to offer!
