Hello! I'm Mel. I grew up on a farm in Ireland and currently work remotely and reside in Miami / Ireland (also lived in New York, Dubai and Germany). My formal education is in Math/Technology from Trinity College Dublin, with an additional degree in healthcare (Occupational Studies). I have over 15 years in finance in a variety of client service and support roles: primarily investor relations but also including sell-side equity research and research library management.
I've also competed at a high level in various sports including running, triathlon, field hockey and cricket and I'm passionate about music, dance and travel.
