Her Championships weekend was highlighted by a season-low round of 70 in the second round.

She owns victories at the 2018 Munster, 2018 Seapoint Scratch Cup, 2019 Vaughan Lahinch Scratch Cup, 2019 Carlow Scratch Cup, and 2019 Seapoint Scratch Cup. The Ennis, County Clare, Ireland, native finished in the top-40 at the British Girls Amateur Championship in 2018 (32nd) and in '19 (17th) and she represented Ireland individually at the 2018 Fairhaven Trophy, 2019 World Junior Girls Championship Canada, 2019 Annika invitational, and 2019 Spirit International Amateur Championship Texas.
