Asley Gulaid

I’m originally from Jacksonville, Florida, and have always been passionate about advancing educational equity. After earning my psychology degree from the University of Florida, I joined Teach for America and taught 3rd grade math in Memphis, where I witnessed firsthand the systemic barriers facing students. That experience sparked my commitment to finding scalable solutions for equity in education.

Before Ross, I worked at the Southern Education Foundation, designing and managing fellowships for education leaders. I also supported social entrepreneurs building innovative solutions in education, which inspired my pivot toward impact investing. I chose Ross for its action-based learning, supportive community, and strong alumni network that make it the perfect place for career switchers.

At Ross, I’ve been challenged to grow while forming meaningful connections with classmates and diving into hands-on opportunities. I’m excited to serve as a Student Ambassador and connect with prospective students exploring the Full-Time MBA program!
