I ran into her randomly walking down the Ormeau Road when I was last back in Belfast in 2017, a particularly difficult trip home, and she insisted we drop everything and go get coffee together. She was always scheming up something, and while I don't quite remember what we talked about, I vividly remember leaving with my mood completely reversed. She had such infectious energy; she genuinely believed she could do anything, and she believed it of her friends too.

I remember when she originally started showing up to our OpenCoffee meetups, then BarCamp, and then appearing almost daily at Core, the co-working space I was running. Candidly, I thought she was an absolute nightmare at first, she was spinning a million plates, and so young, until I quickly came to realize she was capable of all of it.

It was such a gift to know and love her. I do remember us parting outside Sinnamon on Botanic Avenue that afternoon, reaching down to give her a hug (she was tiny), and her telling me that she loved me and wanted me to come home again soon. I'm sorry I didn't again before she was gone. I miss her terribly.
