Bio
Peggy Fisher, Ph.D.
Ashley is fearless. She is one of the most amazing students I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Ashely worked with me in two capacities: Building Better Communities--Innovation Connector, and the St. Jude Up-Till-Dawn group. In the year-long BBC project, Ashley was wonderful. She worked tirelessly conducting interviews and focus groups with local small business owners. She also helped develop a program at the Innovation Connector here in Muncie which is a small business incubator center. The program, L-inc. is part of the IC Business Health Club that is currently in its final stages of preparation. She also helped organize and facilitate the L-inc. kick-off event in the spring of 2013. Specifically, Ashley helped with graphic design, organizing and running the event, conducting research, attending meetings with local small business owners and community leaders, and marketing the program through social media. Ashley is also responsible for a very successful Up-Till-Dawn fundraiser for St. Jude Hospital for Children. The UTD national program underwent major reorganization in the summer of 2013--just when Ashley was stepping in as the president of the BSU chapter. She put together a terrific executive team for the fall event. She asked if I would be the faculty representative for the organization in the spring of 2013. The only reason I said "yes" was because I knew Ashley could do anything she set her mind to. She is THAT capable. She kept her staff motivated and energized, and they executed a fantastic fundraising program--far surpassing any previous UTD program. There was a problem on campus the evening they were to do their main event, and the campus was shut down. Everything has to be moved to a new weekend at the last minute, at the end of the semester with time running out. Ashley was able to regroup and reorganize very quickly, and did a wonderful job. She adapts quickly to any situation. I recommend Ashly very highly to any organization. She is organized, efficient, intelligent, and gets along well with everyone. She is an amazing person who will go on to do great things!
