SARAH WILLIAMS - LUSH LANDSCAPES
Sarah Williams is 20 years old and she is from Freshford.
“I am currently in college in College of FET where I am studying special needs assisting,” she says.
“I went down this career path as I got late diagnosis of autism when I was 17 years old.
“The main reason I wanted to be part of the Kilkenny Rose selection is I want to show other young girls with disabilities they can do anything they want just like all the other girls.
“It would be a dream to become the Kilkenny Rose so young girls can have someone to look up to and for me to educate people about autism throughout my experience.”
