Occupation: Nurse
Age: 26
"My name is Sara Kate Mangan, and I am honoured to represent Abu Dhabi in the Rose of Tralee Festival.
"At the age of 18 I moved to Liverpool to pursue my dream of becoming a nurse. After three fun-filled years living in the city of The Beatles, a leap of faith took me even further afield from my humble Mayo roots to Abu Dhabi. What an adventure it has been. I work in the state-of-the-art Cleveland Clinic in Abu Dhabi where we provide exceptional medical care to the local Emirati people. I plan to further my education with a Master's Degree, specialising in wound management, so I can aid the healing process for my patients.
"My love for travel has taken me from Achil to Agra and Laken to Lebanon. I have a passion for promoting good mental health, and my interests include socialising and meeting new people, music, fashion and sport.
"Always a supporter and never a player, come September I can be found teaching local Emiratis to say 'Mayo for Sam' and hanging banners around the ward... Just don't mention 'The Curse'."
