Pronouns: She/Her

Ash hails from eastern Kentucky, where she grew up on a small family farm. She spent most summers sitting on a bucket, with a bucket, harvesting green beans down the line, while listening to her grandma sing. She has worked in the conservation field almost exclusively, including trail–building in the Grand Canyon, and most recently on a sawyer crew in Colorado. Ash has visited almost all of the lower 48 states! She comes to VYCC as a chance to reconnect to the experiences that made her childhood. She loves to build connections with people and hear the stories of what makes people one of a kind.  During her time at VYCC, Ash plans to visit more states to check off her list. She is also a cloud fanatic and is usually looking at the sky!
