Ashley Davis, VP Of Davis Jewelers, Is A Supermom We Should All Look Up To

"Hopefully by having my kids see what their mom does, by coming into the store and asking questions, being involved, they can see that and model it in their own lives."

Ashley Davis is Vice President of Davis Jewelers, well-known in Louisville for their high quality and esteemed customer service. She is a SuperMom by any standards, running a successful business and raising a family. Ashley was born and raised in Louisville but attended Indiana University. A true Louisvillian at heart, she says she "Never imagined living anywhere other than Louisville."

When asked about any advice she has for teenage girls and college students when it comes to being successful in their future careers; "So many people go to college not knowing what they want to do - it's ok." She studied communications while at IU with a studio art minor. However, she believes that having a drive and passion will lead you to success in whatever you choose. If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life. And even when it does feel like work, it will be fulfilling work, a work that makes you feel like you are contributing something to the world.

The important thing, Davis says, is to pursue something you feel joy and excitement about.

For her, she wasn't always set on being a part of the family business, but she loved how by selling jewelry she got to be a part of important moments in people's lives and help them find what they were looking for. Her goals involve "Not just selling, but focusing on building relationships." Building relationships is one of the most important things in her business, and it is one of the most important things for any woman in the business world to focus on.

For women in business - those who are following their own dreams professionally while raising children - Davis believes that one of the biggest things to learn is "Adapting to things that don't come naturally to you… to become more successful."

It can be easier, she says, to balance your family and your career when you have a strong vision a team can follow and a strong team at that. "It really does take a village." This village is essential in building your dreams up and helping you follow through with them. In the end, there is nothing more essential than having people in your corner who care about you and want you to succeed. However, their support will mean more than any form of success that you can achieve in the professional world.

As for any last advice? "Go talk to people- learn and grow and benefit as much as you can from them. And ask questions!" These tips will help you grow as a woman in the workforce, and personally as well, in terms of family life.

Putting others before yourself, working hard, and believing in your own capabilities is essential in doing well in your future career, and building and maintaining relationships are keys to future happiness.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
