Ashley is a 5th year in the Architectural Engineering program at Penn State University, specializing in the mechanical option.  After spending one year at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, Ashley transferred to University Park where she plans to graduate in May 2016.  She will be EIT eligible upon graduation.

 

During the past two summers Ashley participated in the LEAPS Program with Barton Malow Company.  Her first internship with Barton Malow, in 2014, provided the opportunity to work at Penn State on the South Halls Renovation project.  Looking for a more mechanically challenging project, she spent the summer of 2015 working in Baltimore, MD on the University of Maryland’s Health Sciences Facility, Phase III.  Prior to working with Barton Malow, Ashley was an intern with Ardagh Group, working in their Carnegie, PA office.  During this internship she was given the opportunity to travel to Reno, NV  and Roanoke, VA to participate in design meetings for the renovation of two new plants.  

 

Beyond academics and professional development, Ashley is an active member of the Student Society of Architectural Engineers (SSAE).  In SSAE, she has been given the opportunity to hold several executive positions, including Parliamentarian, THON Chair, and most recently the Family Relations Chair.  She is very passionate about and actively involved in the Penn State Dance Marathon (THON) through SSAE.  In addition, she is an active member of the Penn State Ski Club and a past member of the Penn State Rifle Club.
