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.

@andymcmillan@xoxo.zone — Damn. I've only observed that story from a distance. It's closer and sadder now to hear you were friends. RIP, and newfound condolences to you. It's not fair for you to have to endure such a close loss when you've endured so much.
