What does being Head Girl mean to you? I feel very privileged to have been chosen as Head Girl, particularly in this first year of our school. I have really enjoyed being part of the development of Enniskillen Royal Grammar School and watching the legacy schools come together to create a brilliant new school. 
Your plans after school: I hope to study Medicine at either Queens or Cardiff if all goes to plan!
Your career aspirations: My goal is to become a doctor. It is quite difficult to say right now but I have a mind to specialise in Paediatrics or General Practice. I did work experience with a Consultant Paediatrician and loved it. 
Will you consider emigrating; if so, where? I do not think I will ever emigrate. I am a bit of a home bird and I do not see myself straying too far from Fermanagh. However, there are so many countries I would love to visit including Thailand and Australia. 
Please outline any extra responsibilities you have within school: I am Captain of the Girls’ Rugby Team. 
What are your hobbies and interests outside school? I have played for the U18 team at Enniskillen Rugby Club for the past three years. I was also selected as part of the Ulster U18 7s and 15s squad and the Irish U18 7s squad.   When I am not training I also enjoy spending time with my friends eating out or going to the cinema.
What person (known to you or not, alive or dead) do you most admire and why? There are quite few people I would like to mention but one person who does stand out is the actress Emma Watson. She is a great advocate for women’s voices and seeks to inspire confidence in young women by her positive work on issues such as body image. 
What are your views on:
• Integrated education:
Pupils learning together is very important in the development of young people’s lives as it encourages the younger generation to live in the future instead of the past. I think structures like Fermanagh Learning Community which allows pupils to study subjects in different schools and colleges are key in creating links across the religious divide.
• Brexit:
Whatever the outcome, it is important that our younger generation, which I believe will be affected most by Brexit, will still be able to travel and work freely throughout Europe so that their career options are not reduced as a result. 
• Same sex marriage:
Fundamentally I believe that all people should be treated with respect and equality, regardless of their sexual orientation. 
• Northern Ireland’s politicians:
I understand that after the recent elections Northern Ireland’s politicians are in a very difficult situation. I did not vote in the election as I am not 18 yet but a large number of my peers did and I find it extremely encouraging to see younger people turning out to exercise their democratic right. I am hopeful for the future.

What does being Head Boy mean to you? I feel very privileged to have been chosen as Head Boy and I enjoy the roles and responsibilities. However, at the end of the day I see myself as just another pupil at the school. 
Your plans after school: I hope to study Medicine at university.  
Your career aspirations: I hope to become a doctor. 
Will you consider emigrating; if so, where? I am not entirely sure at the moment: it depends on my situation in the future when I would be making a decision about this. 
Please outline any extra responsibilities you have within school: I am Captain of the 1st XV Rugby team and I am a member of the Brass Band in school. 
What are your hobbies and interests outside school? I am a member of  Lisnaskea Silver Band and the local Scouts company. 
What person (known to you or not, alive or dead) do you most admire and why? I admire my grandfather as he was a successful business man and he has always had a big part to play in the lives of my whole family.
What are your views on:
• Integrated education:
My experience is that pupils integrate with each other outside school in any case whatever school they go to.
• Brexit:
I would have voted to remain but it is what it is now and we have to get on with it and make the most of the situation. 
• Same sex marriage:
I can see both sides of the argument but I have not made my mind up on this issue.
• Northern Ireland’s politicians
I voted for the first time in the recent elections and I encourage other young people to go out and vote. It is important to research the candidates and know why you are voting for a particular candidate rather than going in blind.
