Ashley spent her first 10 years in the nonprofit sector building a nonprofit from the ground up. After completing a year of national service as its first AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteer in Service to America), she successfully transitioned the Rhode Island Urban Debate League from a programme of Brown University to an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit.
​
As founding executive director, she led all aspects of organizational development, including corporate governance, strategic planning, fundraising, program evaluation, program expansion, and succession.
​
In her consulting practice, Ashley partners with clients on various capacity-building efforts, including fundraising, governance training, and strategic planning. In addition to strategic counsel, she provides expert donor-centered communications services for select clients.
​
She began volunteering with Rogare in fall 2016. Additionally, she currently co-chairs the professional development committee of Rhode Island’s Association of Fundraising Professionals chapter; advises nonprofit ventures at the Social Enterprise Greenhouse; and serves on the Providence Juvenile Hearing Board.
