About Me

24 year-old living to the fullest extent! I am a small-town girl from Kentuckiana that has ended up in the Crescent City- New Orleans, Louisiana. After being in the workforce with a bachelor's in biochemistry for a few years, I figured it was time to move onto the next step! I uprooted my life: left my job, my family, and even my fur-baby (tears*, no-pet apartment!) to be fearless in the pursuit of what sets my soul on fire. I am in the class of 2020 for Pharmacology at Tulane School of Medicine!




Interests: Medicine, Art, Theatre, Eloise (my chorkiepoo), Coffee, Ice cream (of all kinds), Kappa Alpha Theta, Travel, Christ, and Romania (FMN Ministries)

Favorite Movie: Sweet Home Alabama
Hansen's Sno-Bliz
Favorite Music: Everything? Literally almost everything I can appreciate. Just depends on the day. Right now I love singer songwriter. Ron Pope is awesome.

Favorite Book: My all-time favorite is probably Water for Elephants. Although I also enjoy The Help and Wuthering Heights

[She's a diva]


When I grow up... A physician! Specialty? I'm open to possibilities, but I think I know where I am headed. I'm keeping that one a secret, but I will say I want to be able to set up medical missions. Particularly with a ministry in Tinca, Romania.


Fun Facts: I'm left-handed, I've traveled more places in Europe than the United States, I love the color grey, and my first job was scooping ice cream at a little market stand when I was 15.



Have a blessed week,



Ms Ashley Krininger

December and January - Tea and Tigers

December: A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year first of all! December was a tad crazy for me flying home to see family and friends. I enjoyed spending time with my Eloise, eating a ton of amazing food, and a lot of laughing and sweet moments with my sister. My lovely friends on New Years  Christmas with the family Eloise is a Scrooge My siblings (Brett and Alli) My favorite place in my hometown Me and my child Alli and Eloise Christmas Eve January: So I fly back to New Orleans, and I am instantly SICK. I come home to my clean, but no food* apartment with a definite need for cold medications. Luckily to my pharmacology knowledge, I made it through the first week back at school with my personal pharmacy. (Even if my Sleepytime herbal tea is unregulated by government standards and might be a placebo- I am still telling myself that my sinuses were soothed). The last unit we were in was Endocrine pharmacology, which I thought was really i...

May II- Graduation Edition

It's still a bit surreal that my classmates and I are done with the program. I think it's been hard to find closure as the world paused time or is operating in slow motion. It's like we have all been hibernating and awaking to Spring, except Spring is entering a reality of change. Although we were physically apart for graduation, we made the best of what we had: having an "official" ceremony in the morning and a departmental party on Zoom later in the day. It was heartwarming to see my colleagues in their regalia and their family members joining to celebrate our accomplishments. My own family joined in from Indiana! Linh made a video of all of our pictures together and a videos of us saying goodbye, which was really bittersweet. Caps off to us! Roll Wave, Ashley Happy Graduation Pharmacology Class of 2020!

June- Physical Health During the MCAT

The MCAT study period can be stressful! When you are laser-focused on a prep-course, it can be hard to think about your health, but the truth is applying to medical school is like a marathon! When you train for something requiring discipline, you have to be mindful of how you are also preparing your body and mind for it too! Here are some ways I stay healthy:  Physical Health:  Diet- What do I typically eat? Well let's start with my rules for food:  first off, I MEAL PREP. Secondly, I stopped buying fattening junk food. Third, I am rolling on a budget people. Fourth, I have also become a bit of a food snob since I have been eating fresh food... so sorry, not sorry.  Breakfast : Premier Protein Shake + Mix-ins I buy by the case-load from Amazon , my favorite are Cookies and Cream I blend these with "Frozen Smoothie Packs" I make: usually frozen berries, chia seeds, and spinach (sometimes I will add PB2)  (I discovered this on WW Freestyle w...
