Two-time science fair winner Ashley will begin communications studies at the University of Maine this fall. In the meantime, she is a waitress and volunteers for organizations like the Children’s Miracle Network and the Pine Tree Camp for Disabled Children. When not volunteering or working, she can be found hitting the slopes ("I was on skis before I could walk") or organizing events for the Think Big Organization, an organization that she started to encourage kids to set goals and think positively.
