I’m Ash! I’ll be the 4th floor Don this year! I graduated from Acadia with my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and I’m passionate about personality and how humans interact with each other given our unique as well as our similar qualities.

I have lots of hobbies, including knitting, reading, running, roller skating, singing and songwriting. I teach yoga on a casual basis and hope to host a couple of classes at King’s this year! My cat Julius, is my best friend and I invite folks to come and see him during his office hours (TBD).

I’m also the Programming & Community Engagement Coordinator. TLDR: I plan and manage events for residence life students. One of the events I facilitate is the Open Mic at The Wardroom and I’m so excited to see any new artists popping up this year. Any other events that you’d like to see, I’d love to hear your ideas!
