Lily E Dineen

Lily grew up in the countryside of South Cork, Ireland. Her family has a small dairy farm where she spent most of her summers working on, with them. In primary school she was diagnosed with dyslexia and Irlen syndrome. Her parents took it upon themselves to read with her every night and during the summer days. They organised remedial teaching, invested in a number of Irlen glasses and bought her a laptop to help improve her reading and writing skills.

At 18 years of age, she moved to Dublin City to attend Trinity College Dublin. She trained to be a general nurse in St James’s Hospital and now works there as a staff nurse during the COVID-19 pandemic.
