A native of Tipperary, Eimear attended the University of Limerick and graduated in 2004 with a Degree in Business Studies. Upon completing university, Eimear opted to move to London, and what started as a summer of change quickly escalated, spending 17 years in total overseas.
Eimear is a CIMA-qualified accountant, having spent eleven years working in finance in London and Sydney. Particularly, she worked in various roles such as AX Finance Consultant, Financial Reporting Analyst, and Functional Lead. Her vast experience comes from companies including Network Rail, Transport for London, and John Laing.

As part of the HDip, she joined Channel Mechanics on a work placement, subsequently becoming a permanent member of the team upon graduating in 2022.
Speaking about Channel Mechanics, Eimear commented:
“I’m delighted to join Channel Mechanics having completed my HDip industry project for them. Everyone I’ve met so far has been so friendly and welcoming.
