Ashley has a professional background in health and social care, with experience in change management and delivering high quality, person- centred services. She is passionate about social justice and committed to amplifying issues that are often overlooked or under-presented in society.
Alongside her professional experience, she brings lived experience as a carer. She understands first- hand the impact caring responsibilities can have on individuals and families, including the emotional toll and the challenges of navigating complex and unfamiliar services. This perspective strongly informs her approach and motivation to contribute meaningfully to the CoEL board.
Ashely lives in East Lothian with her family and enjoys spending time along the beautiful coastline.
