Is as an Spidéal i gContae na Gaillimhe do Chaoimhe Ní Chonghaile. D’fhreastail sí ar Ollscoil Chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath, áit a ndearna sí staidéar ar mhúinteoireacht bunscoile. Tá an-suim aici i gcúrsaí drámaíochta, díospóireachta agus ceoil; suim a cothaíodh tríd an nGaeilge. Tá sí ag glacadh páirte i gcomórtais éagsúla ag Oireachtas na Samhna ó bhí sí ina páiste agus foilsíodh cuid dá píosaí filíochta agus iriseoireachta in iris ‘Scáthán’ Ollscoil Chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath. Mar mhúinteoir Gaelscoile, bíonn Caoimhe i gcónaí ag smaoineamh ar bhealaí taitneamhacha suntasacha leis an nGaeilge a chur i mbéal na bpáistí agus grá do theanga agus do chultúr na hÉireann a spreagadh iontu. Beidh sí ag obair mar FLTA i Conneticut. Caoimhe Ní Chonghaile is from Spiddal, Co. Galway. She attended Dublin City University, where she studied the Bachelor of Education.
