She won her first senior Irish title at 17, and debuted for Ireland at the 2019 Junior European championships in Kazan, Russia. Ciara narrowly missed qualifying for Tokyo 2020; she finished 23rd in the World Diving Cup where the top 18 qualified. Since then she made her World Championships debut for Ireland in 2022, finished sixth at the 2023 European Games in a PB of 280.20 points, and was also a finalist at the 2020 Europeans where she finished ninth.
