Ashley Smith
Project Manager, UR Program + Events

Ashley is a Project Manager at Robinhood, a company on a mission to democratize finance for all. In this role at Robinhood, Ashley is responsible for planning campus recruiting events and conferences, managing team budget and overseeing the Intern Program. Prior to being a Project Manager, Ashley was a recruiting coordinator. Ashley is passionate about seeing students land their dream job, planning events, and creating an environment that is dedicated to making the world a more inclusive and overall better place. Ashley tries to look for the best in others and believes what the famous Ted Lasso says, "Be curious, not judgmental."

Career Highlight

During the pandemic, Ashley knew it was going to be difficult for interns to connect with one another. She formed an idea to create small groups of interns to meet weekly and simply play games and interact with one another to form genuine connections. This became a hit with Robinhood interns, and the interns started hanging out virtually after work and on the weekends. Ashley believes it's important to allow interns to form these connections so they feel a sense of belonging but also give them an opportunity to develop authentic relationships.
