Ashley Neybert cover graphic

In a special Women's History Month episode, we talk with Ashley Neybert. Ashley overcame some unimaginable challenges to transfer to Rockhurst and get her degree. As you’ll hear, while at another school she got the call one night that her family was in a serious car accident and was being life-flighted to a hospital. Ashley had to move with her family from Colorado to Kansas City to help them recover, but there was another challenge… Ashley was going legally blind.

She chose to help her family and continue to pursue her degree in Chemistry despite not being able to see. She talks about how Rockhurst professors worked closely with her to help her finish her degree, and she even went on to get a master’s.

Today, Ashley helps create accessible curriculum for schools and invents practical learning activities for blind and visually impaired students. She has some great stories of the things she gets to do – and how she’s a mentor to many young blind students.

She’s truly making history, and we couldn’t be prouder to say she’s a Rockhurst graduate.
