Occupation: Nurse
Age: 22
"My name is Sarah Ward, and I'm a born and raised New Yorker! I grew up in the Hudson Valley, about an hour north of NYC.
"I attended a small State University outside of Rochester, New York, where I studied biology and psychology. While working as a nursing assistant during my summers off, I realised that nursing was my true calling. I am now a graduated Registered Nurse, and I could not be more proud and excited to join this profession. My ultimate goal is to continue my education and specialise in women's health and family planning.
"When I'm not collecting college degrees, I love cooking and baking, going on hikes with my family, watching the NY Rangers, and planning my next travel adventure.
"My father hails from Brooklyn, raised by proud Co Donegal and Co Monaghan native parents. My mom grew up in Waterford City, and moved to New York to work as a nurse. I spent every summer of my childhood running around Dunmore East with my sister, brother, and clan of cousins, and it's still my favourite place in the world."
