Maria O'Connor is a
pharmacist based in Cork City. She graduated in 2008 from University College
Cork with a BPHARM (Hons) and completed her pre-registration in Community
Pharmacy in 2009. Maria’s interest in first aid started in the UCC Motorcycle
Club where her involvement in a high risk past-time made her realize just how
vital first aid skills are.
In 2010, a collie pup
appeared in Maria’s life that changed her whole outlook. Life with a smart dog
presented a whole new challenge to Maria and she began volunteering with Irish
Search Dogs, a search and rescue charity dedicated to training and deploying
dogs to search for missing people in Ireland. Currently, Maria is a trainee dog
handler with ISD. Maria’s training with ISD sparked her interest in remote
medicine and in August 2012 she completed her WEFR training with RMI. When she
isn’t training with Irish Search Dogs, Maria can be found hill-walking,
horse-riding or playing airsoft.
