She played for Eoghan Ruadh, featuring in her club's Dublin three-in-a-row of 1966-68 and winning an All Ireland Club medal in 1967 and for Dublin in the 1967 and 1968 All Ireland Camogie finals.
She became Leinster provincial secretary in 1971 and was a candidate for secretary of the Camogie Association in 1975.
During her presidency the All-Ireland Minor B Championship was inaugurated and won by Laois, and attendances at the annual All Ireland final started to climb form a level where they had been static for over thirty years.[3]
Uniquely in camogie history, she contested the presidency again in 2009 after her successor’s term had expired.[4]
She worked as a librarian in the National Institute of Research and Standards.
