Plano Grad Returns for Summer Internship
|
By Amy Crawford
For Ashley Gaudlip, coming back home to Plano to seek a summer internship just made sense. A 2013 graduate of Plano Senior High School, Gaudlip grew up in Plano. She currently attends Tulane University in New Orleans, where she is studying architecture, preservation and the Classics.
When considering summer internship opportunities, Gaudlip immediately thought of The Plano Conservancy for Historic Preservation, Inc., a Plano-based non-profit that manages Plano’s Interurban Railway Museum and is involved in a wide variety of community historic preservation initiatives.
