Rachel joined us in October 2025 as a Youth Justice Worker on our Rua Dublin 12 team. She previously worked for six years as a social care worker, supporting Autistic young adults in a disability service and working with Tusla in special care settings. In her own words:

“I believe every young person should have a space where they feel seen and their voice is heard. I love building meaningful relationships that support them to reach their full potential and recognise their own strengths.”

Rachel holds a BA in Psychology from the National College of Ireland and an MSc in Mental Health from Trinity College Dublin. Originally from Clane, Co. Kildare, outside of work Rachel enjoys spending time with friends, travelling, and going to the gym. She also loves relaxing with her cat and unwinding with a good series or movie.
