Founder
Hi! My name is Ashley! I am an electrical engineer.
I completed my associate’s degree in engineering at Prince George’s Community College while working full-time as an administrative assistant. Later, I transferred to the University of Maryland College Park, where I completed a certificate in Latin American and Caribbean studies and a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. I held internships in (1) computational chemistry, (2) quantum research, (3) parts, materials, and processes, and (4) scientific computing. Now, I work in the space industry, working on designs integrated on space launch vehicles.
My non-traditional trajectory into higher education allows me to attest to the unique experiences we all face.
I was a high-school dropout and single mom trying to navigate engineering. I realized along the way, anyone can become an engineer, with some guidance. With this spirit, I created Your Guide to Engineering. To help anyone become an engineer.
