Occupation: Drama and Music Teacher
Age: 23
"My name is Roísín McCloskey, and I live in a small town called Portglenone in Co Antrim. I come from a big family - mum, dad, three sisters and two brothers - who all play Irish music!
"I graduated last summer from Queen's University Belfast, with a BA (Hons) Degree in Drama. Since then I decided to start my own drama business called Dramability. Dramability is a non-competitive, confidence-building drama class for children. As well as drama, I also teach Traditional Irish Music lessons in Tin Whistle, Flute and Harp.
"I am a very active person and love to keep myself busy. Typically, after I finish one project I ask myself what's next. I've been dancing from the age of three and am currently training to be an Irish dancing teacher. In my spare time I work at Jungle NI, an outdoor activity centre. I'm a thrill-seeker and love spending time dangling from the high ropes course or rolling downhill in a Zorb ball!
"I am honoured to be representing Co Antrim, and will be sure to carry my tin whistle to Tralee to play a few tunes! I know I will love every second of my Rose journey."
