Feeling Seen: My Story and Vision for Education on The Irish Catholic’s Education Nation

Perhaps the last place you might think to find me is in The Irish Catholic but I was delighted to speak with Nicky Cuddihy on Education Nation, which is a podcast that explores the education system through the lens of Catholic Education.

Rather than simply focus on promoting their mission, this podcast has chosen to pick out people who might not share that view in order that we can learn from each other. I have to commend the Irish Catholic for being the first media outlet to acknowledge the uniqueness of my position in terms of my ethnicity. It’s one of the first times I’ve felt seen.

In the podcast, I share my story, how I became a teacher, and what education system I’d like to see. I hope you enjoy listening to it.
