Victoria Dowling - Sponsored by The Old Harbour Bar, Tullamore

My name is Victoria Dowling. I am 25 years old and I am from Tullamore. I have a Bachelors in Politics and International Relations and a Masters in Peace, Conflict and Development.

During my studies, I had the opportunity to work with some amazing organisations such as St. Gabriel’s Center in Limerick, the Rwenzori Center for Research and Advocacy in Uganda, Luv2meetU in the UK and Trust Consultancy and Development in Turkey.

I have also worked with my sponsor The Old Harbour Bar for five years and have made many lifelong friendships (both sides of the counter!) and feel the sense of love and community there is unmatched.

I am currently completing a two year cybersecurity apprenticeship with the civil service. In my free time, I enjoy baking, playing the guitar, and to stay active - step aerobics!
