O'Brien and her twin sister were raised in Massapequa Park, New York, after moving to America from Ireland at two years old. A Catholic, she attended St. John the Baptist Diocesan High School in West Islip.[citation needed] She rowed at the University of Virginia, and was named the 2012 USRowing Fan's Choice Collegiate Rower of the Year.[3]
In 2018 she was selected to the women's eight and rowed bow-seat at the World Championships, obtaining the gold medal.[4]
In 2019 she rowed 2-seat in the women's eight, earning bronze at the World Championships.[5]
She qualified to represent the United States at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[6] At these Olympics, she rowed stroke seat in the women's eight, leading the USA to first place in the heat and thereby qualifying directly to the A final. The American boat finished in fourth place in the A final, 1.57 seconds behind third place China.[7]
