Ashley is an intelligent and effective organizer. She is proactive and full of ideas. She is professional, and she communicates and interacts well with her coworkers, as well as with community members and other organizations.
— Cassandra Burdyshaw, Atty., Vermont Human Rights Commission
Ashley takes time to pause, reflect, and consider before she acts. This allows her to make the best possible choice with the information that she has. Additionally, this provides a grounding presence to any group, meeting, or room that Ashley is in. Ashley is the type of person who you would want to have in the room to help navigate a hard situation; a crisis; or a high-stakes situation - for both her insight, and her calm and grounded approach.
— Sarah Young, Author of "Expansive Impact"

To put your hands in a river is to feel the chords that bind the earth together.
