RACING has always been a passion of mine, although I’ve made my career in digital marketing. In June of last year, I got the opportunity to marry the two, when landing my ‘dream job’ as Digital Marketing Executive at Leopardstown Racecourse. Growing up, I had always known that my grandparents owned racehorses, but it was only very recently that I discovered the full extent of that involvement.

Steps To Freedom, who was in training with Jessica Harrington, was the horse of theirs that first introduced me to racing. I can remember going to see him run at Punchestown and Leopardstown. Dad went over to Cheltenham with him but as we were too young, mam took us out of school to watch the race at home on television.
