- From the Emerald Isle to the Valley of the Sun: Born and raised in Dublin, Niamh proudly hails from the land of pubs, poets and Celtic pride. Although she’s called Phoenix home for more than a decade, her Irish accent lives on. Niamh strives to take a family trip back to the cliffs at least yearly, so her two sons can stay close to their roots. And don’t let the Irish phonetics fool you: Her name is pronounced “neev.”
- Storytelling Runs Deep: A lifelong storyteller, Niamh first discovered her passion in elementary school when she took home the gold in the first creative writing competition she entered. Fast forward to high school, she wrote for the newsletter and served on the yearbook editorial team. Today, Niamh channels that same enthusiasm into her work — translating complex ideas into stories that spark connection.
- Hitting Those High Notes, Mariah-Style: Few know that Niamh is a trained soprano who sung in choirs and showcases throughout high school. Her favorite memory? Being selected among the area’s most talented young, female singers to perform with the Dublin Secondary School Girls Choir. Their rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody” warranted a teary-eyed standing ovation from the crowd.
