Education and Career
Ward obtained a Bachelor of Arts in International Marketing and Languages from Dublin City University in 1985.[1] She worked in business and non-governmental organization.[3]
RTÉ
She joined RTÉ News and Current Affairs in 1994.[1] She was appointed Foreign Editor in 1999.[3] In her time at RTÉ she has provided coverage from over 20 countries and has reported from conflicts in Balkans, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Rwanda, North Korea and Sudan.[2] Ward has also acted as a location producer for RTÉ during the Good Friday Agreement and the Omagh bombing.[3] After a leave of absence from RTÉ beginning in September 2006, she wrote about her experiences in Chad in August 2007.[4]
Ward has also made two documentaries for RTÉ. One programme was on Ireland and World War I and another on the Rwandan Genocide.[1]
China
RTÉ moved Ward to Beijing, People's Republic of China in 2007, setting up a news bureau there ahead of the 2008 Olympic Games.[5] In China, she also covered the 2008 Sichuan earthquake.[6] After €2 million in budget cuts, the bureau was closed in 2009, giving RTÉ a saving of €75,000.[7]
