Good luck Nicole ☘️🌹
Introducing Nicole Cunningham (25), one of our incredible London Rose Finalists.
Originally from Carrick in County Donegal, Nicole moved to Stratford in October 2022 and is now based in East Village, building her life in London while staying proudly connected to her Gaeltacht roots back home.
Nicole’s story is deeply shaped by Gaeilge and community. She attended Scoil Náisiúnta na Carraige and Coláiste na Carraige before heading to Galway to study a Bachelor of Commerce with Gaeilge at what is now the University of Galway, a degree that allowed her to explore business while keeping Irish at the centre of her everyday life. Her course included time working in an Irish-speaking company and a semester living and studying in Carraroe, where everything was done through Irish, and she graduated with First Class Honours in 2022. Having discovered a real passion for marketing, Nicole went on to complete a Master’s in Marketing Practice at the University of Galway, combining academic learning with a year-long full-time placement, and graduated with First Class Honours again in 2023. She now works as a Product Marketing Manager at LexisNexis.
In London, Nicole has thrown herself into community in a way that is truly impressive. One of her proudest achievements this year has been taking on the role of PRO for the Tómas MacCurtains Ladies Football Team, where she has helped grow the club and welcomed nearly 30 new players, creating the same sense of friendship and belonging that meant so much to her when she first arrived in London. She is also incredibly proud to have represented the London Ladies Football Team for the past three seasons, and has completed four half marathons across Hackney, Malta and Lanzarote, with a full marathon on the horizon.
Please show Nicole your support by liking, commenting, and sharing this post, and follow along as the finalists continue their London Rose journey.
