Niamh Halpenny worked with Maynooth Students' Union for 2 years. I found Niamh to be immensely capable, hardworking with a great ability to manage workload. Niamh had a significant role to play in the provision of support services to a campus population and was competent and driven in her ambition to enhance the student experience. Niamh took the lead on a number of new initiatives and with her focus and dedication delivered on the implementation of these; thus ensuring lasting change for the representative structures through the strength of the student voice within the academic framework. Niamh worked with her team in a positive , encouraging and inclusive way and embraced the culture of the organisation making it her own, embedding it in the way she both approached her work and her colleagues. I would not hesitate to recommend Niamh, and sincerely wish her every success in her future path, which I have no doubt is very bright.

Niamh is the most resourceful person I have met in Ireland, making life in College quite enjoyable. She has been making the "burden of being a class representative" lighter to carry with all her care and support. Moreover, her ability to change conflictful environment in a pleasant one with only her presence is remarkable, it has been such a delightful opportunity to be working with her. I am also learning very much with her leadership, conflict management and liaising skills.
