Hello, I'm Caroline

I was elected to Wicklow County Council in June 2024 in the Bray West electoral area,  which covers half of Bray, Kilmacanogue and Enniskerry.  

I have lived in Bray since 2011 with my husband and two children.  

Since 2003, I have practised as a speech and language therapist, working with autistic people and disabled adults.  I have a PhD in transition planning for young disabled people moving into adult services.  

Alongside speech and language therapy, I have worked as a person-centred planner.  This is a rights-based process that supports disabled people to live their best lives.  The principles of equality, diversity, and inclusion have been core to my everyday work practices.  

Since becoming a councillor, I have been elected chair of the Social and Community Development Strategic Planning group.  I sit on the Disability and Inclusion Steering Group and am the county Wicklow co-ordinator of Comhairle na nÓg.
