 Hello everyone, My name is Ashley Montes and I am a Digital Technology and Culture and Fine Arts major. I am a short Libra with two sisters. One younger and one older making me the forgotten child. According to my family whom bestowed on me as a person of a  jack of all trades; smartass, meteorologist, botanist, engineer, I.T, geologist, welder, artist, vet, etc. I carry a business card that states so and qualified to do all these things.  There a few things that I like to do in my free time boxing, (Not Fight Club, and we do not talk about it) fishing, and hiking. The most rewarding hike Colchuck, Leavenworth, Washington beautiful, crystal clear, blue lake but this hike makes you work for these unbeatable views. Steep incline and not mention rock stairs at last mile and totally worth the pain the next day. So, that is me 5 foot2 inches and a half (it counts) smartass, boxer, a hiker that refuses to let go of her middle child syndrome. Cheers to another year at WSU.
