Kia ora, I'm Ashlea! I am a Dear Community Leader for Te Papaioea (Palmerston North) area. Originally from Auckland, I moved to Manawatū with my partner over 4 years ago. I absolutely love it here - the people are so friendly, there are hikes galore, and there are heaps to do if you know where to look. Through my mahi, I specialise in social media and content creation and love to make the most of any spare time I can get my hands on by hanging out with friends, new and old. I love reading, gardening, travelling, arts and crafts, eating - I am a big foodie, walks, picnics, and more.I understand it can be hard to make new friends, especially if you're no longer in school or uni, so my mission is to support you and help foster connections through our events.Feel free to reach out for a chat; I can't wait to see you at our upcoming DC events!
