Ashley Pollock
Ashley Pollock is a Physical Therapist Assistant and Student Physical Therapist from Richmond, Virginia. She is a graduate of Tidewater Community College and a current student at Radford University working toward her Doctor of Physical Therapy. She is currently employed at Carilion Clinic. Pollock is one of ROMP’s 2024 Ambassador team and plans on using her passions and experiences to organize a Mobility May campaign and a Limb Disassembly Day.
Apart from school, work, and being a ROMP ambassador, Pollock enjoys gardening, riding her bike, hiking, and yoga.
Her ‘Why’: Movement is so important to quality of life. Being denied the right to movement because of a lack of access to resources in unacceptable. Change requires action and being involved with ROMP provides opportunities to help create change in many different ways within a great community.
Favorite ROMP Moment: My favorite ROMP moment was being able to help in person in Quito, Ecuador in 2021. I got to see people dance and take their first steps after not being able to for a long time. Being able to share those moments was beautiful and something I want to continue to contribute to.
