This week, we’re incredibly proud to shine a spotlight on one of our own, the wonderful Cadhlá Murray, (daughter of Estelle Smyth – Estates Manager) who has been a dedicated member of our Domestic Cleaning Team at Ardoyne Station, working weekends for the past four years.
Cadhlá has recently achieved an outstanding academic milestone, graduating with a First Class Honours Degree in Psychology, as well as earning a Distinction in her Diploma in Professional Practice. These results are a testament to her determination, intelligence, and sheer hard work, all qualities we see in her every single weekend at Ardoyne.
But her achievements don’t stop there. With only 12 places available across Northern Ireland, Cadhlá was successfully selected for a place on the prestigious Wellbeing Practitioner Programme, which includes doing her Master’s degree. Her success in such a competitive field speaks volumes about her talent and passion for helping others.
What makes Cadhlá even more remarkable is that, despite her growing success and future commitments, she has chosen to continue working at her “wee station”, staying loyal to her colleagues and the place she’s helped care for over the years. Her dedication is something truly special and doesn’t go unnoticed.
On top of her studies and her ongoing work with NIAS, Cadhlá will also be volunteering with ChildLine this summer, yet another example of her generous spirit and commitment to supporting others.
Cadhlá, we are so proud of everything you’ve achieved and all that lies ahead for you. You are an inspiration to us all, and we know your future is as bright as your heart is kind. Congratulations Cadhlá, from everyone at Ardoyne and beyond!
