Hi! My name is Ashlie (or Ash, I’m good with either) and I will be your Executive Society Historian this semester. I am a third year student majoring in psychology and minoring in sociology.

After graduating, I would like to pursue a masters degree. A few hobbies I have are reading books and webcomics, crocheting, listening to music (mostly j-pop/j-rock), making wax seals, looking for reasons to go on a drive, mindlessly scrolling through social media, and watching random shows that I find through Instagram reels. I’m looking forward to another semester as an officer and to meeting/getting to better know everyone in the club!
