We were delighted to welcome Karen back to MTU Kerry to give a guest lecture on ‘Building Resilience’ to our student engineers. Karen shared insights, and amazing footage of her inspirational journey to be the first Irish female to row solo across the Atlantic, highlighting the importance of setting goals, prioritising, managing fears, hard graft, the power of networking, strategies for managing stress and all the while engaging with the students and relating every bit of it back to their own journey.
