NIAMH SWEETMAN

HOMESHARE MANAGER

Upon completing her Bachelor of Business (Honours), Niamh managed a Homecare Agency within the Private Homecare sector where she developed a strong understanding of the importance of maintaining independence as we age, the need for adequate supports, and how detrimental isolation can be to our older persons. More recently Niamh undertook the role of Assistant to the Director of Nursing for an independent voluntary organisation that provides health and social care services. Here, Niamh honed her communication and organisational skills while ensuring that safe staffing levels were maintained during the onset of Covid across the campus’ 12 units.

MARK WINNING

BUSINESS ADVISOR

Following a successful exit from his relocation and immigration business in 2017, Mark now works as
an independent business consultant across various sectors.
An electrical engineer by profession, Mark spent the early part of his career in various technical

telecommunications sector, he took on roles including team leadership, project management,
process development and supplier management.

Nyomi O'Leary

Social Media and Events Manager

My name is Nyomi O’Leary. I’m an events management student in Munster Technological University. I am due to graduate in 2022. I have a passion for the event industry. I enjoy working with fellow event professionals and sharing our experience, skills and knowledge with each other. I consider myself to be friendly, creative, dedicated and ambitious.

I am volunteering currently with THE HomeShare Congress 2022. I chose to volunteer with THE HomeShare as I felt the organisation is helping the elderly and young people connect. I grew up with my grandparents and had the greatest experiences with them. My role currently within the homeshare team is sponsorship and managing social media. My role will continually change as the Congress developments and I am honoured to be a part of it.
