Aoife Keady - Connecting Communities
Aoife Keady has shown entrepreneurial traits from a young age but didn't get to fully act on them until she was 19 when she leased a café. She loves a challenge so in her final year in NUIG she went on to lease that same café along with the pub and B&B attached.

She often says if she got a Euro for every time someone said 'I would've gone if I'd known it was on' about an event in her community she'd be a millionaire. That's how her recent venture 'What's Where' was born.
