If STEM means science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, Doreen Corridan means business.

The Kerry native, veterinary surgeon and CEO of NCBC has been named STEM Woman of the Year, the first woman from Irish agriculture to win the award.

Doreen’s award acknowledges her lifelong contribution to Irish agriculture – particularly her 30 years’ experience in cattle breeding, genetics and herd health.

Doreen is an avid Kerry GAA supporter and often compares breeding the next great bull to finding the next David Clifford – identifying raw talent, nurturing it through the science of genetic selection, and proving its performance where it matters most: in the field.
