Hello, my name is Ashling, and I am a 29-year-old Speech and Language Pathologist living and working in Sydney. I work in the community providing support to adults and children on the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
I originally hail from Westport in Co Mayo and grew up helping on my family's sheep farm with my identical twin sister and two brothers. I have a love for participating in a diverse range of sports and I play GAA with Young Irelands in Sydney. I was peer selected as Athletics Track Captain for two consecutive years at Trinity College, where I competed as a race walker and won several All-Ireland titles. I enjoy exploring new cultures, travelling, hiking, and taking in the beauty of a Sydney sunrise followed by a coffee and a swim.
I am honoured to represent both the long-established and newer Irish emigrants in Sydney. I am excited to make new friends and connect with Irish communities worldwide at the International Rose of Tralee Festival.
