About me:

Hi! My name is Ashley Morani, and I am a third-year at McIntire, concentrating in Management and Marketing, with a track in Strategic Brand Consulting & Communications and a minor in Entrepreneurship. I am originally from Staunton, VA (a close neighbor of Charlottesville), and I dreamed of attending the University of Virginia as a child.

During my time at UVA, I have been a part of several amazing organizations, including SEEK His Face, a CIO that hosts an interfellowship worship night each semester, and Chi Alpha, a Christian fellowship that has allowed me to interact with the UVA and Charlottesville communities. This includes tutoring at Buford Middle School twice each week, leading group workouts within the Fitness Commission (CIO), and volunteering for the morning hub crew, a hospitality team for the fellowship's house.

Outside of my education, I have established an eBay retail arbitrage business, Ashley’s Closet. I began this journey in 2018, and through its success have had the opportunity to contribute monthly to a local Charlottesville nonprofit, HER Sports.

My McIntire experience has been amazing in so many ways. The Integrated Core Experience curriculum continues to challenge and develop my way of thinking. Each day presents a new opportunity to further explore interesting topics alongside real-world examples, all in collaboration with motivated and unique McIntire students. It is my joy to have the opportunity to be a part of the McIntire community, and I look forward to sharing this with all of you!

Fun fact: I can juggle!
