Hello! My name is Fiona. I am 22 years old from Cleveland, OH. My ancestry traces back to Donna, Ballycroy, County Mayo, where my great grandparents were born. I am very proud of my Irish heritage which led me to apply for Irish citizenship. I am a Summa cum laude graduate of Adrian College and have been accepted into the Doctorate of Physical Therapy program at The Ohio State University. I currently work as a research assistant at the Orthopedic Rehabilitation and Biomechanics Laboratory at the University of Michigan studying cartilage degeneration post anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery and am the Head Figure Skating Coach at Adrian College. I am a member of Team USA Synchronized Skating and have competed at international events in both Switzerland and Poland. In the future, I plan to work as a physical therapist at the Olympics and form the first synchronized skating team for Team Ireland. Beyond skating, I’m a tenor drummer with the Great Lakes Pipe Band, competing at events like the World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow, Scotland!
