Ashley is a journalist originally from Toronto, but has travelled across the country working with Indigenous non-profit radio communications organizations. She’s lived north of 60, has driven coast to coast, and one daydreams of making that coast-to-coast-to-coast (Tuktoyaktuk here we come!). Her passion for environmentalism and experience has brought her to Green Economy NB!
