With a BSc in Psychology from Dublin City University, Áine began her career in neuropsychology which deepened her passion for understanding how our brains work, and how being equipped with this knowledge can have a powerful effect on how we show up in our daily lives. She transitioned to the corporate world, focusing on People Operations and the employee experience. It was here she was introduced to how inclusion and belonging play a fundamental role in workplace culture and became actively involved in leadership of the employee network focused on disability, mental health, and neurodiversity.
Áine continued to pursue further education and graduated with distinction from the MSc in the Psychology and Neuroscience. This academic journey, combined with her corporate experience and leadership within employee networks, inspired Áine to make a broader impact.
She founded AM Learning, recognising her speaking and facilitation style as a key enabler in delegates awareness building and subsequent behavioural change. Her approach to professional development and strategic thinking in business emphasis the need to consider the unique style each person brings to the table, and how creating the right kind of psychologically safe environment is a catalyst for meaningful change.
Áine’s talks focus on the intersection of neurodiversity, mental wellbeing, inclusion and belonging, emphasising the importance of self-awareness, empathy and compassion as foundations for inclusive company cultures. Through Áine’s keynotes and workshops, she highlights the significance of understanding our own brains and fostering a culture of belonging through self-awareness and empathy.

“The talk went brilliantly, we were delighted to have Áine with us – our team found the talk very insightful and eye-opening. Áine is a fantastic speaker and provided a wonderful overview of neurodiversity at the right level for our team and also how to foster a neuroinclusive workplace which was exactly what we were looking for.
The mix of slides, polls, Q&A and the handout Áine provided made the session really interactive and engaging also and worked perfectly as well as being inclusive for those who attended remotely. We really appreciated Áine’s expertise and thank you for the recommendation.”
