Ashley Gonzalez earned a 2012 SSC Scholarship. Ashley began at Martin County High School and worked her way into Clark Advanced Learning Center. By graduation this past spring, she had also received her AA Degree.
Growing up in Florida, Ashley has always been interested in water, marine life and marine organisms. She got her diver’s certification when she was 12. Her interest in becoming a marine biologist came early, and she also developed an interest in helping those sick and in need, which may push her toward becoming a marine veterinarian.
In addition to volunteering at the Red Cross, soup kitchens, Molly’s House and fund raisers, she has volunteered at the Humane Society and interned at the Loggerhead Marine Life Center, where she still volunteers for them. She also participated in the Service Learning Class going out to DuPuis helping maintain plants and wildlife and collecting data and results.
Ashley plans to attend Florida Atlantic University in the fall.
