The 17-year-old has recently competed at the National School Swimming Championships, for which she is receiving the YASS award.
She is a keen sportswoman and has achieved some amazing results in a variety of different sports.
Ashlea has represented Victoria both at a state and national level, with one of her highlights being at the Beijing swimming trials.
She has recently been selected in the S7 category in the Victorian state swimming team for six years consecutively.

Wodonga Mayor Cr Mark Byatt congratulated Ashlea on her efforts in the pool.
“This is a fine effort by Ashlea and she is certainly a young sportswoman that is set to achieve more success in her chosen sport,” he said.
