Catherine

Hi! My name is Catherine and I’m on your new RA team for 2021/22. I come from north county Dublin and I study philosophy and sociology in Trinity. I’m a huge nerd (especially for murder mysteries) and I love to chat. If you ever need a joke or someone who can recommend an escape room, I’ve got your back!

Starlee

Howzit! My name is Starlee, but just “Star” is fine. I’m from Orlando, Florida, USA, and have also lived in Honolulu, Hawai’i, and Manila, Philippines.

I am pursuing a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing at American College Dublin. Prior to arriving in Ireland, I worked in healthcare under the Care Management department for hospitals in Central Florida.

I love video and board games, film, food, and am almost always up for an adventure and making people laugh.

I am grateful for the RA programme at YWCA Dublin for providing a safe and welcoming community for me, as well as being given the opportunity to serve an organization that strives to empower young women.

Lizeth

Hi! My name is Lizeth! I'm 23. I'm from Mexico.

I am a nanotechnology engineer. I am here to study for my master's degree at UCD.

I love soccer, comics and nature.

I am excited about the opportunity to volunteer and live in YWCA Dublin. Because I think It is great to know people from all around the world and have the chance to create a multicultural community. Also, the support that I have received since I moved to Ireland has been amazing.

Eve

Hello, my name is Eve! I'm Irish and I'm from North Dublin. I am in my final year of World Religions and Theology in Trinity College Dublin.

I love to read and paint and going for hikes around Dublin. I'm passionate about sharing my Christian faith with others. In my thesis, I will be focusing on Old Testament history, so I love to share my knowledge about this topic with others too!

I am so excited to join the RA team this year. I can't wait to get to know people from all over the globe and to learn from them. I hope that I can help to make their experience of Dublin memorable and a lot of fun too!
