Bio About

Nur Ashabiena Mohd Ashraff works in the DAS as an Educational Therapist since 2016. Nur Ashabiena graduated from the University of Wollongong (Australia) with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Upon graduation, she volunteered as a Mind Stimulation Activity (MSA) facilitator with National Kidney Foundation (NKF) and also worked as a temporary research assistant with National Institute of Education (NIE) where she conducted 1-1 cognitive testing with students age 5 to 6 years old. To ensure that she practices what she preaches, Nur Ashabiena has decided to volunteer as a stroke befriender with Singapore National Stroke Association (SNSA) where she conducted counselling sessions for stroke patients at KTPH and TTSH.

Her passion in making a difference in the lives of others has led her to join the DAS as an Educational Therapist where she believes that she can make a difference in the lives of children. Nur Ashabiena graduated with a Specialist Diploma in Educational Therapy (DAS Academy) and Master of Arts in Special Educational Needs (University of South Wales/ DAS Academy) and served as an Educational Advisor (EA) from mid 2017 to end 2019.
