Joining Ascend Consulting Group has been one of the most formative experiences of my college career. It’s a place where driven individuals come together not just to build skills, but to create real value for clients and for each other. There’s an unspoken energy in the room during every client meeting and team huddle, an excitement that comes from knowing your ideas matter and your work has purpose. For me, Ascend represents more than consulting; it’s a launchpad for personal development, meaningful relationships, and leadership through impact.
