"Hello, my name is Imelda Scally, and I am absolutely delighted to be representing the Lovely Leitrim as their Rose in Tralee! I am originally from Roscommon, where I grew up in a small village called Loughglynn. I have very fond memories of playing GAA with my two brothers, Brendan and Christopher, and my only sister, Ann-Marie, for our local club.
"I completed a Bachelor of Business in Marketing with PR & Event Management in Sligo Institute of Technology. After I graduated I was fortunate enough to attain a job in hospitality and from there the interest and passion grew for weddings and events. I am currently working in the Landmark Hotel in Carrick-on-Shannon as the Wedding Sales Manager. This is my absolute dream job!
"My biggest career achievement to date is winning Ireland's 'Best Wedding Coordinator' in February of this year - I am so humbled to have won. Something I am really passionate about and I always have faith in is that positivity is key!
"My vision as the Leitrim Rose is to inspire young women to have confidence and belief in themselves! I am so excited for my Rose journey and I cannot wait to see you all in Tralee!"
