Raised on Ireland’s west coast, 26-year-old Aoife McKiernan developed a lifelong passion for the ocean that eventually led her to scuba diving while earning a Bachelor of Science in Health & Society at Dublin City University. Alongside her professional career as a health researcher and her contributions to academic projects at the Universities of Manchester and Otago, she actively serves her community as a volunteer Search and Recovery diver. Honored as the 2024 Our World-Underwater Scholarship Society™ EU Media Intern, Aoife is excited to blend her background in research, media, and diving to capture and share untold stories of our seas.
