She took up the role in December 2018, succeeding Seán O'Reilly, who was Project Manager for the first six years of the existence of the Irish Survey of Student Engagement. Siobhán had previously worked as Research and Operations Officer in the Irish Universities Association. She spent nearly three years working on the Disability Access Route to Education (DARE) and the Higher Education Access Route (HEAR) and published several reports during this time.
