My name is Bethany and I’m 27 years old, hailing originally from Ballyhea, Co. Cork but am a Rose of many roots; growing up in the Falkland Islands, London, and Cork before finally settling in Dublin. I am privileged to be representing my now home county of Dublin. I moved to Dublin in 2013 to pursue my studies at Trinity College Dublin. Since graduating, I have worked as a Radiation Therapist for St Luke’s Radiation Oncology Network and also in cancer research. In 2020 I started in the Royal College of Surgeons where I am about to commence my fourth year as a medical student. My career goal is to work in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and I have a keen interest in women’s health. In my spare time I enjoy swimming in Bull Island, cooking, playing the violin, practising TaeKwonDo, and I am currently training for the Dublin Marathon in October while fundraising for Beaumont Hospital Foundation, a charity close to my heart. I am so excited for what’s to come as the Dublin Rose in Tralee this summer and to meet 31 other inspirational and like-minded women.
