Cliodhna Lafferty

I am originally from Dundalk, a town on the East Coast of Ireland, and moved to Dubai 5 years ago. I moved to develop and progress as a teacher, but also in pursuit of a climate with more sun and less rainy days! I absolutely love living in Dubai and also enjoy travelling and exploring new countries during the holidays. My two main hobbies are fitness and food. I enjoy going to the gym and am also heavily involved in my GAA club, Kerry Middle East GAA, as well as being Ladies Officer on the Middle East County Board. The culinary scene in Dubai is second to none, so I am always eager to try out new restaurants for some inspiration for classroom recipes. I am a competitive person by nature, and have enjoyed bringing that side of my personality to life in Safa this year, through the various competitions I have organised such as the Inter-schools cookery competition and Masterchef.
