About me

Bio:

I am a project manager/scrum master with 1 dog, 3 cats, 4 rats, and a loving husband. I have lived in Nebraska, Arkansas, and Texas but now am happy to call the mountains of Colorado home.

I have a degree in Mass Media Communications, which I’ve used to write blog, television and newspaper, radio, and website copy. I fell into project management because I have a love of checklists and making sure people have what they need to succeed. I am constantly teaching myself new things and trying to grow in my field; there’s too much to learn to ever feel bored!

My pronouns are they/them/theirs. (What does this mean?)
It’s possible you knew me as Ashley Bles - same person, cooler name now.

6 words to describe myself: Optimistic | Passionate | Empathetic | Expressive | Organized | Curious
