Is bailitheoir scéal agus duine de shliocht Luimní í Trish O’Connor atá ag obair anois idir Bhaile Átha Cliath agus Dún Garbhán le Red Shoe Productions. Is Léiritheoir / Stiúrthíóir ildánach aitheanta í le taithí i ngach réimse léiriúcháin – ón taighde go dtí an t-aschur deireanach.

Thar na blianta d’oibrigh Trish le Virgin Media, RTÉ, an EBU, agus raidhse comhlachtaí léiriucháin neamhspleácha. Agus le fiche bliain anuas, chaith sí seal ag obair i ngach uile rannóg dá bhfuil ann: Fíorasach, na hEalaíona, Cúrsaí Reatha, TV do Pháistí, Drámaíocht agus ranna eile nach iad.

I measc na ngradaim a bronnadh uirthi, tá duais UNICEF do chlár faisnéise do pháistí ag Prix Jeunesse na Gearmáine (i gcomhar leis an EBU), an clár faisnéise is fearr ag Féile Ealaíne Aonaigh Urmhumhain, agus bhí sí páirteach i bhfoireann bhuaiteach Gogglebox le haghaidh léiriú Kite Entertainment do Ghradaim RTS 2022.

Is breá le Trish a beith ag comhrá, agus is éisteoir iontach í freisin, agus í de shíor ag lorg na scéalta is fearr, scéalta a bhíonn díreach os ár gcomhair amach go minic. Tá féith ghrinn den scoth aici agus í ag gáirí, ach tá sí lofa ag insint jokes… tá sé ráite libh anois!
