Ashley is the Partner Engagement Manager for the nonprofit organization, Rock The Street, Wall Street (RTSWS) - a financial and investment literacy program designed to spark high school girls’ interest in pursuing finance careers. Prior to earning her MBA, Ashley recognized the lack of women pursuing math alongside her in college and the unawareness of the many finance industry profession opportunities available. She has worked in a variety of roles throughout non-profits and contributes to building partner relationships across the country to grow Rock The Street, Wall Street’s reach. RTSWS was born out of the CEO & Founder Maura Cunningham’s spending 25+ years in the financial industry. Maura was eager to turn her attention to getting more girls interested in their financial independence and introducing them to careers in finance.

Since its inception in 2013, RTSWS has served more than 3,000 girls across the U.S. in  the year-long program that includes classroom financial hands-on project workshops, a “Wall Street” experience field trip, and a mentorship program. Every single classroom instructor and mentor are female financial professionals who volunteer to lead the Rock the Street, Wall Street programs, and are instrumental in shaping girls’ perceptions of finance careers. Today, the program is in 50 high schools across 27 cities in the U.S. and Canada. Ashley is excited to be a part of moving girls forward in the field of finance.
