Ashley Joyner

Hello, my name is Ashley Joyner. I currently attend Dominican College Of Blauvelt. At Dominican College, my study of choice is secondary education with a major in history. I recently completed my four years of eligibility in woman's indoor volleyball at Dominican college, at the division two level. Being a student-athlete has helped shape me into the woman I am today. I am a dedicated worker, who knows the importance of time management and working well with others. The pressure of being successful in the classroom, as well as on and off the court is what has kept me grounded. I recently was inducted into the Dominican College, New York Sigma Chapter of Chi Alpha Sigma for achieving a 3.4 GPA during the indoor volleyball season. As you can see volleyball is a very important aspect of my life. I have been playing volleyball since the age of fourteen. I also have coached at Upper Chesapeake Volleyball Club for three years, coaching young girls ages thirteen to sixteen. This year I will continue my coaching career by becoming a part of the coaching staff at Dominican college holding the job title of "Assistant Coach" while I finish my undergraduate degree. None of this would be possible without the support of my family, friends, and coaches throughout the years. My brother and sister are my biggest role models. My brother recently graduated from Howard University in Washington DC, and my sister graduated from Bridgewater College in Virginia. They have proven to me that anything is possible if I am dedicated and work hard for the things that I want. I strive to be as great as them and accomplish every goal I set. Once I graduate I hope to become a high school history teacher. Teaching is a career I love, and I hope to touch the lives of my many students giving them information that they can take with them, and use not only in the classroom but in their everyday lives.
