My name is Katie Casey. I am 28 years old and I was born and raised on a dairy farm overlooking the mouth of the River Shannon in Causeway, Co. Kerry. I’m the youngest of four older brothers, Dad is a Kerry man and Mom is from Garryvoe in East Cork. After graduating from the University of Limerick with a BSc in Nursing (Intellectual Disability), I emigrated to New Zealand in 2018 for a year before settling in Melbourne which I now call my home away from home. I currently work as a Registered Nurse in the community supporting clients with complex disabilities and mental health. I am very passionate about my job and my motto in life is “everything happens for a reason.” I keep connected to my Irish community by playing camogie with Sinn Féin GAC Club and I’m a member of Melbourne Comhaltas, where I set dance weekly. I love a challenge and recently completed the Gold Coast Full Marathon where I helped raise funds for Down Syndrome Kerry, a charity very close to my heart. From a young girl, I’ve grown up attending the annual Festival. I feel very honoured and delighted to be representing the Melbourne Irish community.
