Throughout my career in Christian higher education, I have had the privilege of walking alongside students as they navigate new experiences, overcome challenges, and discover how their education connects to God’s calling on their lives.” BIO Ashley has always believed that higher education is about more than earning a degree. It’s about discovering who we are, broadening our perspectives, and preparing for lives of purpose and service. Her professional journey began in international education, where she spent more than a decade developing programs that encouraged students to step outside their comfort zones, engage with different cultures, and grow both personally and academically. Most recently, Ashley served as Asbury’s Director of Global Programs & Initiatives, collaborating with faculty, staff, and international partners to create meaningful cross-cultural learning opportunities. Those experiences deepened her appreciation for the many people, processes, and relationships that make a transformative university education possible. Now, as University Registrar, Ashley is excited to support students from a different vantage point. With a background in student development counseling, Ashley brings a commitment to thoughtful collaboration, clear communication, and service to the university’s academic operations. Alongside the dedicated Registrar’s Office team, Ashley hopes to continue fostering an environment where academic processes are accessible, accurate, and student-centered, allowing students and faculty to focus on the meaningful work of teaching, learning, and growing. Ashley loves being part of the Asbury and Wilmore communities. Outside of work, she participates in a Banded discipleship group, enjoys several book clubs, and volunteers with organizations throughout the county. Her immediate family shares her passion for Christian higher education, with each family member working at a different university. Despite the distance and time zones separating them, they make it a priority to connect by video call each week.
