Queensland Rose

Hello! My name is Imogen, and I am immensely proud to be representing Queensland in this year’s Rose of Tralee International Festival. I’m 22 and have lived most of my life in Brisbane with my Aussie Mum, Irish Dad, two younger siblings, and much-loved Cavoodle, Harvey. I’m work as a social worker at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital. I love my job and am incredibly passionate about dignifying the lived experience and creating opportunities to empower those facing disadvantage. In my spare time I enjoy catching up with friends at Brisbane cafes, visiting the beach and cooking - I’m a total foodie. Growing up, my fondest memories include the many trips to my dad’s family in Ireland, who predominantly live in both Kildare town and Co. Cork. When I was little I was always intrigued as to how long summer evenings seemed to last and despite insisting I could stay awake, almost always fell asleep curled up beside the chimenea outside my Nanny Paula’s home. Feeling so blessed to call two places on the opposite side of the world home, is something that I am forever grateful for and am thrilled to celebrate in Tralee this year.
