Occupation: Physiotherapist
Age: 23
"My name is Hazel Ní Chathasaigh, and I am currently working as a physiotherapist at University Hospital Limerick.
"A proud Gaeilgeoir, I attended Gaelcholáiste Luimnigh and then went on to study physiotherapy at the University of Limerick. I have a particular interest in musculoskeletal physiotherapy and have been fortunate to have a recent piece of research in this area published.
"With a background in competitive indoor and open water swimming, I represented the University of Limerick at both intervarsities and the Irish Open Championships. From a young age, I have been an avid Munster Rugby supporter and I play tag rugby in leagues throughout the year. Other interests include Pilates, aerobics, running and travel.
"I am both delighted and honoured to be representing Limerick at the Rose of Tralee International Festival 2018."
