An Experienced New Voice in Seanad Éireann
I’m Eva, a Green Party county councillor and new mum-of-four. I worked in the previous government as a ministerial advisor and parliamentary assistant. My background is in higher education and science communications.
I am a graduate of University College Dublin (BA, Politics and Italian, 2007) and the University of Edinburgh (MSc Nationalism Studies, 2011).
Having graduated at the time of the global financial crisis, I left Ireland to work and study in Australia and the UK.
I came home in 2011 because I wanted to help rebuild our country: I wanted to see younger people graduate into better opportunities than we had.
