Today, we are thrilled to interview two visitors to DC, Caragh Nic Néill and Christopher Curran, who come to us from the new Ireland.
Caragh graduated from Queen’s University Belfast with a First-Class Honours degree in Irish and Celtic Studies and then obtained a Postgraduate Certificate in Education from St. Mary’s University College. Since then, Caragh has worked as a permanent Irish teacher at St. Dominic’s Grammar School in West Belfast for 5 years. Caragh proudly promotes the Irish language and culture in her local community and has a desire to give back to a language and a culture that has afforded her so many invaluable opportunities. Caragh leads the Cumann Gaelach within her school and promotes all aspects of Irish culture, including language, dance, music, sport, and drama.
Chris is a former professional soccer player turned passionate coach and data analyst. He brings years of firsthand experience in the game to his coaching. He understands the nuances of football and the importance of developing not just skills, but also the character and resilience of young athletes. Temporarily based in Washington, DC, he has embraced new challenges. He is committed to fostering a positive and encouraging environment for young players, helping them realize their potential both on and off the field.
