Ashmi is a senior at the University of Maryland and is currently training to become a University Innovation Fellow. She is pursuing a dual-degree in Finance, and Government & Politics, and was in the Honors College for Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
By concentrating on real estate, slum development, and sustainability, Ashmi's vision is to make urban investments to improve non-profit, low-income housing, and education infrastructure. She wants to be the face of a change and believes she is slowly making her mark on her campus.
Ashmi has been active on campus. She was President of the Indian Students' Association, Ashoka TerpChangemakers, and the Undergraduate Consulting Society. She also works at The Smith Store and as a Teaching Assistant for Social Innovation Fellows. Her greatest priority in college was to understand her capacity, thus she complemented her clubs and jobs with internships at the MD State Government, Fannie Mae, and PwC. Her focuses are evident in minority communities that face adversity, entrepreneurship, consulting and education.
As an Innovation Fellow, Ashmi seeks to receive guidance and structure on how to adapt to her newest leadership roles. As Chair of the Dean's Student Advisory Council, she will guide her Dean on how to make the Behavioral and Social Sciences College more entrepreneurial. As a staff member at the Center of Social Value Creation, she will have input into a 600 person event for the AshokaU Exchange. All of her leadership is targeted to her vision and being an Innovation Fellow will abet her greatly.
Upon graduation, Ashmi may potentially work in the Real Estate Group at PricewaterhouseCoopers in New York City. She will pursue a Masters degree in Public Policy and get her MBA in the near future. In her free time, she enjoys travelling, biking, reading, and asking big questions.
