Ashley Harrison
Newcastle, NSW
Bachelor of Business / B Laws (Honours)
The world has been Ashley’s classroom since starting her combined Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Law degree in 2019. She joined the global-facing leadership program iLEAD plus, attended the University Scholars Leadership Symposium in Kuala Lumpur and the Forbes ‘30 under 30’ conference in Detroit – all in her first year. Ashley also facilitated the first United Nations Youth Consultation, as well as chairing the Newcastle Model United Nations. Subsequently, Ashley was nominated for Local Young Person of the Year by both the City of Newcastle and Regional Youth Development Officers Network. Ashley regularly volunteers for the Newcastle Youth Council, and recently undertook the role of Regional Development Officer with United Nations Youth NSW. She hopes to pursue her interest in social enterprise, international politics or international business policy as a career.
