About The Founder
Ashley Bussell
Age 19
Ashley is a 19-year-old college student from Southern California. She came into this world less than 24 hours after her grandmother, who died from cancer, was buried. She has always felt a connection with, and a desire to help, those who are affected by cancer, particularly pediatric cancers.
Ashley takes rigorous classes, preferring to continually challenge herself academically. In high school, she emerged as a leader both on and off campus, through involvement with National Honor Society, IMPACT (high school freshmen mentoring), School News Network, and 12 years of Girl Scouting. Ashley graduated from Tesoro High School in 2019 as a 4.7 GPA student, Titan of the Year finalist, and Girl Scout Gold Award recipient.
For fun, Ashley loves dancing, cheering for friends at athletic events of all types, musical theater, concerts, eating popcorn with Lawry’s sprinkled on top, and of course, going to the beach.
Ashley is now a proud Badger at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is double majoring in Marketing and Management in the Wisconsin School of Business with hopes of attending law school in the future.
