About Vicky Aston

Speech Pathologist | PhD Candidate | Former Army Medic & Anesthetic Technologist | Proud Mum of Three My career has been a journey of purpose, service, and growth. It began with my role as an Army Medic, where I developed a strong foundation in patient care, resilience, and adaptability under challenging conditions. This experience instilled in me a profound dedication to helping others. For nearly a decade, I built on this foundation as an Anesthetic Technologist, honing my skills in precision, teamwork, and critical decision-making in high-pressure medical environments. These years solidified my passion for healthcare and inspired my transition to Speech Pathology, where I’ve been making a meaningful impact. Now, as a PhD candidate, I’m exploring new ways to advance the field of Speech Pathology through innovative research, blending my practical experience with academic inquiry. Beyond my professional endeavors, I’m a proud mum to three incredible daughters, embracing the balancing act of parenthood and academia with determination and gratitude. I’m passionate about empowering individuals, driving healthcare innovation, and fostering collaboration to create lasting change. Let’s connect to share ideas and make an impact together!
