I met 6-time Emmy Award Winning Host and Producer Ashley Mengwasser at a pivotal moment in my student career. I was finishing a 1.5 year marketing internship which had introduced me to many fields in communications and for my next step I was looking for something a little more hands-on than social-media representation. On a tour of Georgia Public Broadcasting HQ the leader, Carol Danford, told me I reminded her of a GPB veteran host. Carol was kind enough to connect me to see if her co-worker would be so kind to meet with me for some guidance in my career search. Ashley and I met for coffee and immediately clicked! We not only have similar interests and personalities, but also an extremely similar first name, German surname as well as mirrored foot freckles… TMI? Ashley is a complete angel and I am forever grateful for the mentorship and opportunities she continues to provide me with.
