My name is Ashley Pichardo and I am 18 years old. I was born in New York City, NY, grew up in Glen Ridge, NJ , and currently reside in Belleville, NJ. Since I was a child I was an entrepreneur trying to sell everything I had my hands on. I always sold the most when it came to fundraisers for school, and I even had my own lemonade and ice tea stands in front of my house. Also as a child I volunteered at various places around town, I remember it being one of the most life fulfilling experiences of my life. I currently still am an entrepreneur and serve my community extensively. Realization of my tendencies as a child and as a teenager has made me discover that I am meant to help people, and a way I can incorporate these to traits is to my starting my own non-profit organization and working for the United Nations in the Humanitarian Affairs Department.
"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile" -Albert Einstein
I am an extremely hard working person with great work ethics. I have worked really hard to get to where I am today at Rider University. Through my life experiences I have learned that nothing is a piece of cake you need to work hard in order to receive.
