Helen Candid #2

Hi Everyone!

I was born and raised in Dublin but have strong family connections to Mayo and Kerry where I was lucky to spend a lot of time growing up.  I took a year out of my studies in University College Dublin before my third year and worked abroad in the US in Chicago and then on Catalina Island, which was amazing.

I also spent some time after graduation living in Seville, Spain, where I worked with American High School Students on a Study Abroad Program.

I am now pursuing a Master’s Degree to be a Secondary School Teacher and hope to qualify in 2025. I currently live in a boarding school in Dublin and help out with the students, which I love.

Travel, both long-term and short-term, has opened my eyes to the world, and I have enjoyed making friends from all over. For me, though, there is no place like home, and I have a real love for Irish history and culture. There’s nowhere more beautiful than Ireland in the sunshine!

Looking forward to meeting all of the 2025 ILE Students very soon.
