Hi my name is Ash! I moved to Geelong in 2021 to study at Deakin. I have since obtained a bachelor in psychological science, psychology being my main interest. I also love animals, connecting with nature, music, art, and spending time with my loved ones (including my cat). I have extensive lived experience with neurodivergence in particular, having been a carer for my mum and navigating the challenges that have come along with my ADHD diagnosis.
I am passionate about utilising my lived experience and educational background to support others in their independent living and improving their quality of life. I am looking forward to meeting a diverse range of individuals with varied experiences and building meaningful relationships with participants, getting to know their passions, interests, and goals, and helping to achieve these goals.
- I have dyed my hair every colour aside from orange
- I can play the piano
- I like to collect feathers
- I know every line in the movie ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’
I am a big fan of animal facts! Two that come to mind are that penguins mate for life and cows have best friends :)
I like to spend time with my family and friends, watch movies, make pottery, colour, write, spend time out in nature, and more recently I have gotten into reading.
