Ashton Blake (he/they) started off timid and introverted about who he was. Until one day he decided that life is too short to allow other’s to live it for him. Since then, Ash has dedicated their future to providing the very thing he wished they had as a child: a safe space and guidance.
Ashton’s leadership is exemplified through his role as Vice President of his Senior Class at Oxon Hill High School and creating a community where everyone was welcome. Ashton plans on growing their leadership as he plans to attend the University Of Maryland, College Park in the fall where they’ll major in Chemical Engineering in the A. James Clark School of Engineering and in the ACES Honors College.
