Ashley was originally from Newcastle, NSW, Ashley now calls Darwin home. Ashley studied a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (honours) at the University of Newcastle, graduating in 2023. Her new grad year has seen her living and working in remote NSW, before relocating to Darwin to explore healthcare in the Top End! Ashley has a background of working within the NDIS space prior to becoming an Occupational Therapist and is eager to use this knowledge in conjunction with her developing clinical skills to assist her clients.

Ashley is motivated to work with people and their support networks to build and maintain independence and achieve their goals, and is particularly passionate about working with people in rural and remote areas. Ashley’s favourite part of her job is to listen and learn from people’s stories, and to work collaboratively to help them participate in activities that make life meaningful for them.

Ashley has moved to the NT to experience all it has to offer, and also to be closer to some of her extended family who are Darwin born and bred. Ashley enjoys cooking, getting out in nature, camping, exploring and spending time with family and friends.
