Ashley Marquiss
A resident of Palm Bay, FL for my entire life, I am now a college student studying at North Greenville University in South Carolina. I'm majoring in Print Media, which will allow me to explore various fields in the media world including writing, photography, and graphic design.
I'm continually working to improve my photography and expand my horizons in that area of creativity. I also enjoy doing a bit of writing in my free time, with creative writing as my main focus.
I love scrapbooking and plan to make more scrapbooks once I am out of college and have a place bigger than my dormroom in which to work on said activity.
