<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
Well, hello there friends! It’s Ashley-time! Well, as you could’ve guessed my name is….Ashley.  I am a Junior here at UML and am a Psychology Major<\/a>! For a while, I picked up an Education Minor<\/a>..but decided teaching wasn’t for me.  I was also looking into a Theater Minor<\/a>, but my schedule is so busy already that I might not be able to pick that up.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
I currently am the Orientation Operations Manager, as well as an Ambassador!  I spend most of my work time registering incoming students for Orientation and thinking of new ways to improve our program!  I love my job and couldn’t imagine working any where else.  The real world better offer me some cool jobs like these ;).<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
     I am also a Resident Advisor at the UML Inn & Conference Center…our beloved ICC.  It’s a really cool place to live because you can step outside and be in the heart of downtown Lowell.  I love all of the tiny shops and boutiques. My two favorite places to shop downtown are FOUND<\/a> and HUMANITY<\/a>. Found has a ton of wicked random collections and items. It’s a place where you can be in for over an hour finding tons of cool things.  Humanity is a clothing store that has a lot of trendy, cool items.  I love their jewelry and always buy on sale. Students get a 10% discount! \ud83d\ude42  <\/span>Next year, I’ll be the Assistant Complex Director of South Campus.  I’ll be all around South Campus next year!<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
     My favorite thing about UMass Lowell is the incredible people and the amazing opportunities. I have made life-long friendships and even met my boyfriend here.  I was really nervous about meeting new people as a Freshman because I lived in Dracut (which if you don’t know…is about 3 minutes down the road from East Campus.)  I figured that so many people from my school went here that I wouldn’t meet any new friends. Boy, was I wrong!! All of my friends are from UML and I like it that way. \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
     As for opportunities…they are COUNTLESS. From becoming an Orientation Leader, my options opened up in so many ways!   I learned so much about the University and was able to grow so much from my experiences as an Orientation Leader.  After a semester as a sophomore, I applied to become a Resident Advisor.  I was then promoted from both of my positions to Orientation Operations Manager and to Assistant Complex Director. Both of these positions mean so much to me and I am extremely grateful to the school for allowing me to reach towards my career goals and for helping me learn so much.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
