Her Interview
Ten minutes with Ashley
01What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Whatever it is that you are thinking, you can achieve it. I never really had anybody to give good advice during college when thinking about fashion.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Learn everything that you can about this industry because even after you graduate with a degree you are always learning something. Trends are always changing so you definitely want to be on top of that. Networking is also a big thing especially in the South.
03What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Having a relationship with God and faith has been most important especially during financially tough times as a part-time teacher. Also speaking positive over your life because if you say negative stuff that is all you are going to see.
