Meet  The Secretary

Hi! My name is Ashley Walsh, and I am a junior at Arlington High School. I have been in HOSA since my freshman year and absolutely love it! Since I am only a junior, I have not decided exactly where I want to go to college. I definitely want to attend a good medical school to become an orthopedic surgeon. At my school I am also very involved in softball. I started playing when I was four years old and loved it ever since. HOSA and softball are basically the two halves of my life. I also enjoy volunteer work. Mission Arlington and River Legacy are the two places I do the most at. Mission Arlington is like the Salvation Army except it is for Arlington residents. River Legacy is a wild life park that hosts many children's events trying to inspire them to take a more active role in the environment. They are both great organizations and so much fun to be a part of. This year I hope to join National Honor Society at my school as well as Key Club. I love helping people and can't wait to learn to do more.
