What an incredible evening at the Women in Education panel! This event brought together passionate educators to share their inspiring journeys to the U.S., their experiences in the classroom, and their career transitions beyond teaching.
Hearing the stories of resilience, adaptation, and growth reminded us how our backgrounds continue to shape our paths. Many shared experiences led us back to our roots in Ireland, reinforcing the power of community and connection.
A heartfelt thank you to our amazing panelists—Mary Sugrue, Rebecca Doolin, and Caoimhe Nic Giollarnáith—for their insights and wisdom, and to everyone who joined us for such an engaging discussion.
This event was particularly meaningful for ConnectUS, as it marked our first-ever sponsorship—a milestone in our mission to build a strong, supportive network for educators.
A big shoutout to Women With Ambition for organizing such a fantastic event. We’re excited for more opportunities to connect, uplift, and grow together! We are also so grateful to Bank of Ireland for the use of their hub space for the event!
