Hi! My name is Ashley Machmer. I am from Virginia Beach, Virginia. I chose ODU so I could stay close to my family because most of my family lives in either Virginia Beach or Norfolk. I wanted to be able to see my baby cousins grow up and be a part of their lives. Along with the medical field, criminology has always been interesting to me too. When I’m not occupied with school work, I like working, hanging out with friends, and shopping. A fun fact about me is that my favorite animal is a sloth I think they just look so cute! My favorite shows are Grey’s Anatomy, Criminal Minds, and Friends.
