Words can not express, we are so so proud of you Keely O'Grady!

Congratulations Keely O'Grady, our 2024 International Rose of Tralee!

"Kia ora and Dia dhuit! Iโ€™m a 21-year-old, fourth-year student at Canterbury University, studying a Bachelor of Speech and Language Therapy. I have recently completed a placement at a special needs school for children with autism. I hope to work in the healthcare or disability sector, helping children to communicate effectively. I love New Zealand, where I was born and raised by my Irish father and Kiwi mother. I live in Christchurch with seven of my best friends. I cherish a typical Kiwi lifestyle, enjoying beach trips, exploring the cities, and taking advantage of the outdoors, especially snowboarding, and road-tripping with friends. I dream of world travel, as there is so much to explore and learn. Irish dancing has been my passion since I started at age five. I am a six-time NZ National Champion and attended the Dublin World Irish Dancing Championships as the TIDA Scholarship Recipient. My lifelong goal is to perform with a show and tour worldwide. I draw inspiration from my family and friends who cheer me on in everything I do! I am passionate about advocating for peopleโ€™s rights and aim to make a positive mark on peopleโ€™s lives."
