An unusual path leads to a rewarding professional calling.

Hi, I’m Ashley.

I’m a journalist, anchor, and storyteller who believes the most important stories aren’t just about what happened. They’re about why it matters.

Every day, I work to help people understand the policies, decisions, and events shaping their communities. Whether I’m covering a breaking news story, a legislative debate, or a public health issue, my goal is the same: provide context, ask tough questions, and make complex topics accessible.

My path to journalism wasn’t traditional. Before entering the newsroom, I worked in communications, consulting, and nonprofit organizations. That experience taught me how institutions operate, how messages are crafted, and how communities experience the decisions made around them.

Today, I report and anchor in Louisiana, covering stories that sit at the intersection of policy, accountability, health, and community impact. I’m especially interested in stories that amplify voices often left out of the conversation and help audiences connect the dots between government decisions and everyday life.

When people engage with one of my stories, I want them to feel informed, empowered, and better equipped to engage with the world around them.
