Ashley Tarriff - Treasurer

Class: 2014

Concentration: Marketing major, minor in Legal Environment of Business

Previous Mock Experience: 4 years in High School, 2 years in College

Why I Joined Mock Trial?: I had absolutely no interest in law until a friend of mine who was a junior asked me to join mock trial during my freshmen year of high school. I had heard the club was fun, so I joined fully anticipating just to be a spectator at tournaments and not to compete. However, I soon realized how awesome mock trial was and got asked to join the competition team that met separately to prepare for trial. I was hooked. For the next three years I competed as an attorney and when I came to Penn State I couldn't wait to join the mock trial association here.

Your Executive Board Position in Your Words: The Treasurer makes sure the organization has all the necessary funding to do all of these amazing things we do! The treasurer makes sure we have enough funding to compete at tournaments all over the Northeast, acquire all the necessary props and supplies to compete, and print all the materials for intercollegiate competition. The treasurer acts as the support for the rest of the executive board, making all of our ideas a reality.

Favorite Mock Trial Memory: Going to my first invitational freshmen year with a whole bunch of seniors and juniors I didn't know and having a blast running over beavers, eating Mark Walsh's moms pasta, and falling asleep during V for Vendetta.

Dream Job: Working in marketing for a record label
