Hello, My name is Kayla and I’m a final year Agricultural Science student at the University of Galway. Growing up on a dairy farm at home, I’ve always had a strong interest in helping out, which led me to pursue my studies at 3rd level. I completed my placement with Homeland in Ballinrobe, where I’m still working weekends alongside college. It’s been a great experience and has really helped to build my confidence and knowledge. Outside of college, I enjoy playing football with St Fursey’s in Headford and helping out at home on the farm.
A big thank you to Amy & Adrian from O’Malleys Bar for their sponsorship and support — I really appreciate the opportunity.
I’m really excited to be part of this year’s Queen of the Lakes. It’s definitely taken me out of my comfort zone — especially crossing the border into Mayo! I’m looking forward to meeting new people and making the most of the experience 🤍
