Ashley brings a clear-eyed, compassionate understanding of what it takes for faculty to adopt open and affordable course materials, and of the real challenges students navigate when using them. She turned those insights into practical, mission-aligned recommendations that helped us launch Denison’s affordable content initiative with momentum and care. Ashley’s adaptability, generosity, and steady partnership made her an invaluable collaborator here, and I’m confident she’ll be a meaningful asset to her next team.

Ashley reshaped what strong program leadership looks like for our credentialing work. Her ability to bring structure, strategy, and human-centered thinking to an incredibly complex portfolio made an immediate and lasting impact on our team and our partners. She approaches complex situations with maturity and positivity, offers thoughtful perspectives, and engages colleagues and partners with warmth and credibility. I recommend her wholeheartedly. She is a strategic thinker, a skilled program and partnership leader, and someone any team would be fortunate to have.

I have had the pleasure of working closely with Ashley as we explored new global opportunities for Digital Promise's unique micro-credential platform. In every conversation, Ashley brought an appreciation for diverse contexts and cultures, a sense of curiosity to understand our partners' needs, and an openness to reimagine how we might use existing solutions in new ways to meet those needs. She understands how to build partners and design collaborations that are a win-win. I highly recommend Ashley as a seasoned leader to bring on to your team!
