Artifacts

At the end of my senior year of high school, I decided to pursue my passion for foreign languages and start my own company. Upon coming to Ohio State, however, I was away from my friends and family who had been a bedrock of support for me throughout my journey. All of this changed when I joined the Business Builders Club, a student-run organization aimed at fostering entrepreneurship amongst the Buckeye community. I found myself connecting with other like-minded students and quickly added to my bedrock of support for my pursuits. From connecting with a venture capitalist CEO to simply chatting about all things entrepreneurship with other members, the Business Builders Club was my first step into the Buckeye community.

About Me

Thanks for stopping by! My name is Michael Ashley and I am currently pursuing a double major in Finance and Spanish here at The Ohio State University. I am from Cincinnati, OH, although I’ve found a new home in Bilbao, Spain the past few summers, and would describe myself as an outgoing, innovative, and detail-oriented person. I speak five languages and enjoy nothing more than the time I spend connecting with people from other countries. I am continually seeking opportunities that push me academically, professionally, and personally. If you have any questions, never hesitate to reach out to me via email (ashley.125@osu.edu).
