Emily Kinsella
Emily is a seventeen year-old girl living in Clondalkin, Dublin. She has quite a few hobbies including Irish dancing, drama, singing, playing musical instruments, writing poetry, reading and playing sports.
Acting has always been a love and inspiration of hers since she was a young girl. She discovered this passion when performing in school productions as a child, and her love for performing arts has only grown since. She even tried her hand at directing a stage production with Tallaght Community Arts in 2024 and also fell in love with this different perspective on the arts.
Emily is going into her final year in secondary school and with the Leaving Certificate coming up, she loves when she has the time to read the ancient classics or write poetry when relaxing.
