There was many a road trip in that car &amp; I\u2019m sure it could tell some stories!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dream drive in dream location?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Milford Road in New Zealand where Lord of the Rings\u00a0was filmed. New Zealand is gorgeous, naturalistic views and very like Ireland.\u00a0 I have travelled New Zealand and been to Milford Road but I would love to do it in summer with an open top car\u2026 sounds like pure bliss!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have a favourite car gadget?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I am directionally challenged, when in doubt I turn left, so I have to say my favourite Car Gadget is my Sat Nav.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who taught you to drive?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I am from Kildare and my dad gave me my first few lessons on the Curragh, we would take a long straight road with nothing around, no tree\u2019s, animals, people\u2026. basically nothing I could hit \u2013 he was extremely patient. I then did lessons in Naas Motoring School every day for a week and then off I went.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Whom do you most admire in your profession?<br \/>\n<\/strong>The list is endless but who comes top of mind is probably Fergal Mulchrone &amp; Jeannette Kealy, both are Directors of Dr.Hauschka. Fergal has been my mentor over the years his advice has been invaluable. Also, Oonagh O\u2019Hagan from Meagher\u2019s Pharmacy and I recently met Marissa Carter and was so impressed with how business savvy she is and so lovely too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What was your best career decision to date?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I took time out to go traveling when I was younger, when I returned I decided to take my time and really look for a position that I really loved. I think you really need to enjoy coming to work; you spend so much time there. I took a temp role in Lombard and Ulster (in the motor finance dept) while I searched for my dream job. One of the things that I will take from that job is I met Emma who is now one of those friends for life. I left after 8 months and started with the Dr.Hauschka brand and I am still working with the brand now as General Manager. That was 10 years ago now.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is on your car stereo right now?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Gavin James \u2013 I love the sound of his voice!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>One item you couldn&#8217;t live without?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I hate to say it but my phone \u2013 I spend so much time on my phone. What did we ever do before mobile phones??<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you relax?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Simple one evening a week, I turn everything off, phone, ipad, laptop and put a face mask on and completely switch off.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Passenger you\u2019d most like on a long journey?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I\u2019d love to do Carpool Karaoke with James Cordon, so maybe him just for fun!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Passenger you\u2019d least like?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Sorry Mum \u2013 it has to be you!
