hi! my name is Ash :] I’m a master’s student preparing for a big move to Germany to continue my studies at the University of Leipzig. I’ve been living on my own since i was seventeen, and my family isn’t super supportive. Due to serious bills & other emergencies, I don’t have the money for the move or for my flight in late September. I study anthropology, and my work with local communities in Southern California—both inside and outside of academia—is what drives me. I want to make others happy through my efforts, whether it be by continuing my thesis work or through my museum work. Literally anything helps; I just want to go to school and further my dream.
