Veronica Kelly

Dr. Veronica Kelly is a Senior Lecturer at South East Technological University (SETU), based at the Wexford Campus. She specializes in adult education and student retention strategies. Her research explores factors influencing adult learner retention in higher education through methodologies like semistructured interviews.

Key research interests include social learning dynamics, narrative identity formation, and student experiences in educational contexts. She has collaborated internationally, including visits to VIVES University of Applied Sciences (Belgium) and Université de La Rochelle (France) in 2024.

Her 2014 conference paper at the European Conference on Educational Research in Porto remains her sole published output but aligns with broader themes of educational equity and institutional support systems.
