Ashley Hajoca Management Development Program candidate

Ashley

Hi everyone, my name is Ashley and I want to tell you about the most monumental decision I have ever made in my career. Prior to me joining Hajoca, I spent 10 years as a high school history teacher. In 2021, I was tapped out in my growth as far as teaching and being in administration did not interest me, so I began to look elsewhere for opportunities. My husband and brother both worked for Hajoca and encouraged me to apply. Upon being accepted into the MDP program, I knew that a life altering decision was in front me. I could stay in a teaching career that was safe and predictable, or I could dive headfirst into a new unknown career. After a lot of thought and consideration, I was determined to challenge myself. I made a commitment that I would seize every opportunity to grow and learn as quickly as possible within Hajoca. This mantra has proven to be very effective for me throughout my time in the MDP program. I have now been with Hajoca for 2 ½ years and opened a greenfield profit center in Chandler, Arizona in December of 2023! With two young kids at home, my husband (who is also a PCM), and I, have been given the freedom to live into our dreams by Hajoca.
