Asha Heffernan was raised in Wagga Wagga, but after time spent at boarding school, a year travelling India and then another studying in Sydney, she was somewhat cautious about returning home. But it’s now a decision she doesn’t regret.

Asha had always had an interest in pursuing medicine and was encouraged by a best friend who shared her ambition. Stumbling at the first entrance exam, she applied herself to a clinical science degree until she was accepted to medical school in the following year. Now in her second year at the Rural Clinical School back in Wagga, she is overjoyed with her choice. Not only does she get to benefit from the much wider clinical experience she is gaining, but she can also surround herself with supportive family and friends.
