Ashley (Ash for short) is a first-year at RIT ASL-English Interpreting Major. She is a first time writer for Her Campus, and is very excited to share ideas, grow, and connect with others going through similar, or even different experiences. She loves writing, and hopes to pick up an immersion or minor in it. With a heavy focus on activism within feminism and the LGBTQ+ community, she's ambitious and ready to discuss anything from her several cats to mental health and challenges faced by minorities. If she's not around you can probably find her on the phone with her girlfriend or at work at Pizza Hut making only the most supreme of pizzas.
