Ashley is in her first year at the University of California San Diego. She is majoring in Marine Biology through the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. After completing her basic dive certification, Ashley is planning on getting certified in scientific diving with the hope of getting the opportunity to do field research in marine biology. Ashley has always loved the outdoors and is continuing that passion by working as a Wilderness Guide through UCSD’s Outback Adventures program. She hopes to take that passion and turn it into a career doing field work in marine biology.
