Student Series: Asha Heffernan — Following her dream back home

Asha Heffernan was raised in Wagga Wagga, but after time spend 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.
