Hi, I'm Ashleigh!
|
In 2014, I was a key support for World Vision's youth campaigning, where we ensured child labour recognised at the G20 summit for the first time ever, and in 2017, co-organised the largest ever Parliamentary Take Over to make a statement about the absence of young women and non binary persons from our federal politics. By 2020, I founded Raise Our Voice Australia to empower and inspire young women and non binary folk to lead the conversation in domestic policy, foreign policy and politics.
I was recognised by the Foundation for Young Australians as a Young Social Pioneer in 2018, and the Australian Financial Review recognised my work in the 100 Women of Influence 2019 list. Public speaking, facilitation and stakeholder management are my natural talents. I use these to teach young women and non binary folk to be leaders in public decision making at Raise Our Voice Australia. I also love lending these talents to purpose-driven organisations and social enterprises working on sustainable change. If I can put my voice behind your organisation as a speaker or workshop facilitator to help you make a bigger impact, get in touch! |
