Ashley is a strategic communications professional with over 15 years of marketing and public relations experience in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.

A graduate of Simon Fraser University’s School for the Contemporary Arts with a concentration in theatre, Ashley’s background is steeped in the art of gathering, storytelling, and meaning making, which she draws on to inform the creation of integrated communications campaigns. Her work is centred around the belief that all great communication arises from the intersection of empathy, specificity, and inclusivity.

Having gained experiences across many industries, including tourism, economic development, technology and the arts, she developed a passion for using her skills in writing, creative direction and community management to translate complex ideas and processes into inclusive and inspiring language and narratives. She is delighted to use those skills now to help drive greater awareness of the timely and important work being done by the Energy Futures Lab.

When she’s not working you’ll most often find her in the community garden, or out walking her dog, Goose.
