Gráinne is an Irish writer who is utterly obsessed with her country. She grew up in Kilkenny and 'matured' in Waterford, where she got a Bachelor's in Theatre and English. She is now based in Dublin, where she has recently received a Master's Degree in Librarian and Information Studies. Her favourite things to write about include travel, satire, good news, cinema, theatre, and mental health. She previously worked as a film critic for the Waterford News and Star newspaper. Gráinne also works as a pet sitter, so she can usually be found in someone else's home, cuddling their dog.
