Meath Rose - Ella Bannon
CLICK ON THE ARROWS ABOVE TO BROWSE THROUGH THE GALLERY
Hi, my name is Ella. I am 20 years old and live in the historic town of Trim. I am honoured to be representing the Royal County as the 2025 Meath Rose. I am currently studying General Nursing at DCU and hope to specialise in oncology and haematology. Nursing has always been a dream of mine, as I have a passion for helping others and want to positively influence their healthcare journey. Through Irish dancing, I had the opportunity to travel throughout Europe connecting young children with Irish culture. I placed 7th in the An Chomhdháil World Championships in 2021 and my proudest moment was dancing for Pope Francis in Croke Park in 2018. My part-time jobs are centred around children. I work as a science instructor with “Junior Einsteins” promoting STEM to our future scientists. I am also a part-time nanny to four energetic local boys. I love to keep busy, travel, and be surrounded by friends and family. I look forward to connecting with my Rose sisters and making unforgettable memories with my family.
