Ashley Wollam’s Summary

In May 2008 I graduated from Marietta College with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies (Honors), a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with a Concentration in Creative Writing (Honors), and a minor in Leadership.

I am taking the next chapter of my life to the CheckFree Corporation, where I wish to accelerate my development as a devoted student of leadership and communication. Graduate school is in my near future, where I will take an interdisciplinary approach to examining identity construction, computer-mediated communication, and leadership.

A passionate and driven individual, I work best in environments that are infused with positivity, purposefulness, and respect.
