In this episode of Beyond What You See, we sit down with Ashlie Dulaney — small-town Wisconsin native, lover of history and the royal family, AmeriCorps alum, and now Assistant Director of Pre-College Programs at Marquette University EOP.
Ashlie’s path took her from studying abroad in London to serving Milwaukee students through College Possible — and now leading a team impacting over 1,000 youth every year through college access and leadership development. Her story is one of purpose found through service, students, and a deep belief in possibility.
