Dublin native Sinéad Ryan has been living with her fiancée in Melbourne for over a year-and-a-half but plans to return home in a couple of years. She works with young children who are autistic and have Developmental Language Disorder. Sinéad plans to open her own practice upon her return to Ireland.
Away from work, Sinéad enjoys bush walking and hiking in Melbourne and "exploring this side of the world". Her adventures have taken her scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef and to New Zealand to cheer on the British and Irish Lions.
"Being part of the Rose of Tralee has encouraged me to engage more in the Irish community in Melbourne, which gives a fantastic sense of home in such a big city."
