Hi I’m Clare Tucker one of the facilitators here at Albert. I grew up in a small seaside town/ city called Bangor in Northern Ireland and I’m old alum of St Dominics High School. I currently work for a tech company based in London. My main hobbies include, cooking, socialising and reading!
Hello! My name is Savannah, I’m 23 and from Belfast, Northern Ireland. I am a University of Ulster Law graduate and currently completing my Masters in Law at Queen’s University Belfast. In September, I will be starting my big girl job working in the in-house legal department at PWC in Belfast, one of the world’s biggest consulting, tax and auditing firms. In my free time, you can catch me swimming in the sea or attending any concert I can get tickets to (I’ve been to 7 this year)! I have been with ASLFL since 2017 and this will be my second year being a Senior Facilitator and I cannot wait for this year’s conference!
My name is Dean McPartlin. I’m currently employed by Veolia as an Electrical Instrumentation Apprentice at Pfizer Grangecastle.
I’ve lived in maynooth my whole life so I attended primary and post primary school here. I’ve enjoyed acting from a young age and have taken part in many projects in theatre, radio and film. I also enjoy playing guitar, although I’m not very good! I’m a big fan of indoor rock climbing and bouldering. I first attended ASLFL as a delegate back in 2018. I was a Junior facilitator in 2022 and I was delighted to be given the opportunity this year to be facilitator. My goal as facilitator this year is to change someone’s mind about themselves, for the better of course! I can’t wait to get to know you all better, especially our new delegates. My advice is to make the most of every minute, as this week always goes by too quickly.
My name is Martha Gilligan. I am 21 years old. I live in Maynooth Co. Kildare Ireland. I am just finished a degree in Irish and business in Maynooth University. I hope to start my Master of Education in primary teaching in October. I play Gaelic football and camogie for Maynooth. I also play camogie for the Kildare senior team. I also swim every day. I love baking and reading also. I have been with ASLF since 2017. I was honoured to be asked back as a junior facilitator in 2018 which I thoroughly enjoyed. II was then very excited to be back last year after the COVID pandemic.
I’m 20 and I’m from Belfast, Northern Ireland. I went to St Dominic’s Grammar School and now I’m doing an Accounting apprenticeship. I came to ASLFL as a student in 2019 and this is my second year back as a Junior Facilitator! Most of my time is spent studying but when I’m not I enjoy travelling and exploring new places (usually somewhere I can bring my dog).
