As a final year student studying Commerce Emma has quite a hectic schedule. Yet she manages to give up much of her free time to the Irish Guide Dogs in Galway. Emma has volunteered with the Irish Guide Dogs for a number of years. This charity is one that is close to her heart. This passion was influenced by her Grandfathers involvement as Chairperson of the Galway branch. Emma’s role with the charity includes managing the facebook page and fundraising around Galway which includes raffles, quizzes, selling calendars and cards at Christmas.
