Lea Walsh

Profession and company: Director of Customer Experience at CIE Tours.

How do you celebrate your Irishness? I celebrate my Irishness every day - through my work, my community involvement and how I raise my children. I take pride in sharing Irelands rich cultural history. 

Name a hero you admire and why? My parents, family first, hard work, and resilience through tough times have shaped the person I am today.

Something people would be surprised to know about me... I own more than one pair of cowboy boots; I'm a country girl at heart.
