About Ashley

About

Ashley DeVecht is a managing editor at a custom media company where she is in charge of an association’s social media presence and edits several association magazines.

Ashley has tried her hand at several types of media; she has worked for an industry magazine and a national consumer magazine and was the editor of her college paper. When she graduated from Hope College in May 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in English and communication, Ashley expected to ship off to the big city to start her career in publishing; she never expected to end up in the big city in the Midwest. But Chicago has truly stolen her heart, with its beaches and baseball fans, its skylines and hospitable spirit.

When she’s not banging out (yes, banging…she’s the loudest typist in the office) line after line of custom content, Ashley enjoys camping, making up new recipes, and driving home to Michigan to be with family. She is also currently working on the launch of a ministry to the homeless with her friend, Caitlin.
