Ambassador

Petra Leary
We first met Petra as an insightful young adult who was very articulate about her experiences with ADHD and was discovering her talents as a graphic designer and graffiti artist. Since picking up a camera her photography has taken her across New Zealand, over the ditch to Australia and beyond the Southern Hemisphere to Cuba, Canada and The United States. 

Petra is now an award-winning photographer, who captures seemingly ordinary views but from a different perspective as many of her photos are taken using a drone. Petra’s work has been featured in various publications and sites around the world.

We recently reconnected with Petra when she contacted us to offer the photo she had created for ADHD Awareness Month and more recently at our Interactive Day.
​
 She is an inspiration to young ADHD'rs everywhere.
