Ashley Simmons, known to STEP students as Ms. Ash, first came to work for STEP as an MCC CSTEP intern. After a summer of working with a particularly rascally group of 7th-12th graders, she was hooked. Ms. Ash’s dedication and focus on her own school work as well as her devotion to teaching and inspiring youth led to her employment as a tutor and later as a part-time program advisor for STEP. In addition to her advisement responsibilities, Ms. Ash is the go-to person when students need help in Chemistry and Physics. She is also employed as a Chemistry tutor at DCC.
It is with great pleasure that I announce that, in what I believe is record time, Ashley has completed her coursework for a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from RIT.
Please help me to extend a hearty congratulations to Ms. Ash for this tremendous achievement and help me to acknowledge what an amazing role model she has been for our STEP youth.
