I can always count on Ashley to remember important events and projects and follow through. From Freshmen First to Spring Student Government Elections, Ashley has been a key player in revising and improving events and in organizing students all year long and I appreciate her so much for this! I will miss her next year, but know she will be an amazing asset to whatever institution she ends up studying at!”
