Michaela, from Waterford, is currently studying in Maynooth University. She is active in Maynooth’s Student’s Union and enjoys volunteering. She is a passionate activist for student representation, student engagement, education and the student learning experience. Her wish is to empower students while they are learning online. Spunout has been a valuable resource to Michaela, when she was in secondary school and now in college. As a service user, she is delighted to have the opportunity to participate in the SpunOut Action Panel and meet amazing new young people. She aspires to be an inspirational mentor like so many she has in her life. She can most likely be found reading a book or at home in Waterford with her family, her dog Roxie and her four cats!
