About
Hello! My name is Ashley Thorpe, age 20, and I am currently attending Minnesota State University Moorhead in pursuit of my bachelor's degree in English Publications. I have already succeeded in acquiring my associate's degree in English at Bismarck State College. My ultimate career goal is to one day be a copy editor at a major book publishing company. I have loved reading and writing all my life, and have always had a special talent at catching grammar and spelling errors. I love to work with people and one of my favorite things about reading and writing is the opportunities to meet and learn about other people around the world. I am incredibly grateful for the ability to have my voice be heard through my articles being published in local newspapers and magazines, and the idea of being able to help other people's voices be heard makes me so excited for my future.
