As the Development Associate, Ashleigh works alongside a broad range of supporters – from grassroots donors to corporations – to involve them more deeply in EBC’s work.
Ashleigh comes from a diverse background in administration, non-profit, and hospitality. In addition, she is an advocate for regenerative agricultural practices and a community builder through skill-sharing collectives – focusing on sustainable food growing and preservation in food deserts and unconventional urban spaces.
Her connection to her community has given her a first-hand look at the implications of a broken justice system; her desire to be a part of the struggle for racial and economic justice has led the way to a career with the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights.
Outside of work, Ashleigh finds joy in her home: flower arranging, gardening, preserving food, and her cat, Shep.
