Ashleen is a first-year medical student at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. Her academic interests include neuroscience, surgery, oncology, and public health. Alongside her studies, she serves as an editor at Her Campus. She enjoys reading science-based lifestyle content, and works with writers to refine ideas and emphasise their voice in their work.

When she's not studying or editing, she spends her time cooking, strength training, or unwinding with a cup of tea.
