Faoi:
Is údar seacht leabhar do pháistí í Carmel, i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla. Thosaigh sí ag scríobh i 2010 agus bhí a céad leabhar Spidey foilsithe le Cló Mhaigh Eo i 2012. Is breá léi a bheith ag léamh agus ag scríobh leabhar pictiúir agus ag léamh agus ag déanamh taighde ar leabhair Stairiúla Éireannacha agus tá a leabhair foilsithe sa dhá seánra.
Tá sí ag obair mar leabharlannaí i nDún Laoghaire le blianta fada anuas agus úsáideann sí an saineolas seo chun léitheoireacht oiriúnach do gach aois a mholadh. Tá suim speisialta aici i léitheoirí drogallacha. Oibríonn sí go díograiseach le bunscoileanna agus meánscoileanna timpeall na tíre ag roinnt a saineolais ar léitheoireacht, leabhair agus gach rud a bhaineann le leabharlann a bhunadh.
Rugadh agus tógadh Carmel i gContae Mhaigh Eo agus tá conaí uirthi i gContae Chill Mhantáin anois.
