Hello! Thanks for taking the time to read my bio! I have been with 7 Cups for quite some time, and during this time have been part of many different teams and roles here in the community. At the moment, I support people in 1-1 chats and I am also part of the verifiers team, which means I verify other volunteers on the site. I tend to log-in most days, so I do my best to reply quickly if you would like to message me. 

 

About Me

I have been supporting people on the site since 2016, and during this time I have held quite a few roles. I come from Ireland, however have spent most of my life living in England. I have quite a cool job working with animals at a rescue, although most of my time is spent at a desk I love the opportunity to work with the animals themselves! I currently work in a care home, which I love and alongside this I volunteer at quite a few places, including 7 Cups!

 

Hobbies

Ice Hockey, I can’t get enough of it, and by the way, the teams I follow are Edmonton Oilers and Coventry Blaze.

Pets, I enjoy spending time with my own pets, a dog, fish, hamsters and rats. Yep, rats.

Travelling and learning about different cultures. I enjoy travelling to places and alongside this writing to my pen-pals across the globe.

American Dad and Family Guy, as I’m a Seth Macfarlane fan! Peter Griffin was my profile picture here at one point.  

Helping those in need. I know that’s very cheesy and cliché, but I really do love chatting with people in need of help on 7 Cups, or other ways of supporting someone in need.

 

What can you talk to me about?

You can talk to me about anything! Literally. I’m not here to judge but listen and just be supportive. I’m open to everyone and anyone who needs a listener. Everything you tell me is completely confidential. I understand what it's like to need someone to be there for you, a person who you can tell your problems too or just simply take your mind of things for a bit. My inbox is open to everyone.

They helped give solutions to my problems and made me feel proud of my positive emotions. Their use of exclamation points were also very welcoming.
