Hi, I’m Ashley.

Welcome to my Online Legal Studies Portfolio.

What I Believe in…

“Be dependable. Never tolerate complacency.

Allow pressure to develop you beyond your limits.”

- Ashley Stannard

Who Am I

I am a dedicated Legal Studies student at the College of DuPage (COD), pursuing an Associate Degree in Applied Science and Legal Studies with a post-graduate Paralegal Certificate. While attending COD, I received the Academic Excellence Award from the Legal Studies faculty. As President of the Paralegal Club, I had the joy of being recognized with the 2024 Student Life Outstanding Club Officer of the Year Award.

In 2023, I was privileged to join a roundtable discussion with Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, former COD President Dr. Brian Caputo, and other public officials.

I am inspired to use my leadership skills to serve my community and make a meaningful impact in the legal field.
