Tallaght teen takes home Teen Model of the Year 2017 award

A young Tallaght model was crowned Teen Model of the Year on Saturday at the glitzy International Runway Achievers and Recognition Awards 2017.

Sabrina Maria Purice from Brookfield beat off tough competition to take the prize at the awards bash in the Hilton Hotel.

The fifth year student has been excelling on the runway in recent times, with Sabrina, who attends school in the Holy Family Community School in Rathcoole, featuring on Echo.ie in December as she got set to compete in the final of the inaugural Top Model Ireland.

Currently studying acting, drama and mime in the Anna Kavanagh Young People’s Theatre in Rathfarnham, Sabrina recently sat exams to obtain her sixth grade credentials from the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin.
