Hi! I’m Ashley, an Electrical Engineering student at UCF who loves hands-on projects and finding creative solutions to real-world problems. I’m involved in engineering organizations on campus and enjoy hobbies like woodworking, 3D printing, drawing, sculpting, and sailing. I’m happy to answer questions about engineering, campus involvement, student life, or anything else you’re curious about as you explore whether UCF is the right fit for you.

Describe your college experience

I was upset to leave my friends when I moved to Florida for school but incredibly excited to experience everything UCF has to offer as well as what it would be like to live on my own.

Tip for future students

It’s a great idea to focus and study hard so you can be prepared for a successful future but it’s also important to make time for fun social events, clubs, projects, and the little things - it’s what can really stand out to people and employers. It also means having a great college experience.

Favorite class

Differential equations was my favorite class and, I know, it makes me sound like a nerd but it was really cool seeing how different topics from other classes were coming together!

Career goals

I plan to work with boats after college as an electrical engineer and have a side huddle running a smoothie shop with a friend.

Ideal way to spend a free night

My ideal way to spend a free night would be with friends cruising along beach waters.
