I am Ashley Ventura (formerly Ashley Jimenez- Murphy). ✨ I’m a solution-focused student advocate, with 3+ years of educational experience, including teaching, counseling, and higher education administration. ✨ I pride myself in being a student advocate. My purpose is to guide students to take accountability for their future, to fuel their curiosities to try new opportunities, and most importantly to help them achieve their dreams by aligning students' academic interests and aptitudes with appropriate professional goals.✨ I offer and continue to develop an array of skills in actively listening and advising, individualized student support planning, and building collaborative relationships. I pride myself in the ability to work both independently and as a team to effectively meet departmental and organizational goals. ✨ I’m a compelling presenter and facilitator with a proven track record in creating and delivering workshops, special events, seminars, and lessons that support student success. As an authentic and engaging speaker, I love to share my knowledge of higher education topics, such as transitioning into college, financial aid guidance, career exploration, and more. ✨ Please feel free to contact me at ashleyjmventura@gmail.com 📩
