About Ashley
ABOUT
My mind is always in a creative zone. Whether it is painting, photography, wood burning, or dabbling with mixed media; I truly enjoy working on any project and take tremendous pride in the results. While the arts is where my heart lies, I am skilled in customer service, retail, a variety of computer programs.
My experience includes administration, marketing, sales, budgeting, murals, graphic design, photography, traditional artwork, and an array of computer programs.

Small towns have always stolen my heart due to my upbringing. I grew up in Andover, CT where I attended RHAM Middle School & High School, specifically focused on adding as many art classes to my schedule as allowed.
After RHAM, I enrolled in Manchester Community College with the focus on Graphic Design to achieve my Associate's degree however decided after two semesters to throw myself into the real world.
Opportunities came up through banking and I took them. Through those opportunities, it lead me to connecting with Young@Art, a local non-profit in Manchester, CT. Through Y@A, I managed to secure two murals in downtown Manchester.
In my current role, I manage all incoming projects to Marketing and Communications for the UConn Foundation, and have branched out to include design for donor books, board handbook design updates, invites, and managing timelines for all projects.
