Ashley Blanco was born and raised in Miami, Florida. She is a double alumnus from Florida State University, having obtained her Bachelor of Science in International Affairs in 2023 and Master of Public Administration degree with a Certificate in Civic and Nonprofit Leadership in 2024.

As someone who has always placed service at the center of her life, she is extremely involved in both her local and international community and received awards for her service from FSU. She has completed extensive work in the Dominican Republic and Africa, as her interests lie in nonprofit international development work. While she has extensive experience serving her community as a volunteer, she is eager to do so now at an organizational level. Ashley joined the Casa Familia team as a part-time employee in January of 2023 and is proud to now be a full-time employee. She is immensely excited to continue working to build Exceptional Housing for Exceptional People.
