Hey there. I’m Ashley, a veteran journalist specializing in issues-based storytelling, high-level thought leadership, and ghostwriting. I write for national media outlets, nonprofits, brands, industry executives, and local and national political leaders. I harness my journalistic instincts and reporting background to amplify the personal stories and opinions of individuals who are not professional writers. As a Senior Media Fellow for the national immigration nonprofit American Immigration Council, I work with thought leaders across the political spectrum to develop their personal narratives and policy perspectives and craft compelling, data-driven op-eds and get them published in local and national publications. This includes senators, mayors, CEOs, healthcare workers, farmers, entrepreneurs, faith leaders, students, and others from all walks of life. My ghostwritten op-eds have appeared in USA Today, The Hill, Fox News, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Baltimore Sun, Chicago Sun-Times, Orlando Sentinel, Tampa Bay Times, The Virginian-Pilot, The Providence Journal, Buzzfeed, Ebony, among others.

My journalism and reporting has appeared in media outlets and brands such as Glamour, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Teen Vogue, Self, Prevention, Good Housekeeping, Hacking Finance, Refinery29, New York Post, New York Times, Boston.com, Bumble, WeWork, Shine, and Jopwell.
