“Ashley brings a refreshing enthusiasm to everything she does, and this shines through in all of her communications and interactions. When my team needed an account manager who could immediately jump in, quickly learn our processes, and make a positive impact with our top brands, Ashley was the person we thought of who could check all of those boxes. Ashley's responsiveness and solution-oriented mindset allowed her to create opportunities for us that we wouldn't have had otherwise. Ashley is an asset to any organization and someone who I highly recommend.”
