Ashley is originally from San Luis, Arizona and is currently about to complete her last year as an undergrad before she transitions to be a full-time MGM student.

Ashley chose Thunderbird because she wanted to deepen her understanding of different cultures and learn about business through a global lens 👓.

Prior to applying she did not know the high prestige the Thunderbird name held. After her first semester, she knew that she was in the right place not only because of the rich history of Thunderbird but because of the amazing faculty and students.

One piece of advice?
My dad has always said, “Un dia bueno vale mas que todo los malos.” In English, it translates to one good day overpowers all the bad days ☀️. I stand by this quote, it is true we work hard and some days it feels impossible, but that good day will come, and it will feel like those bad days never existed.
