Ashley A. Smith

Journalist. Storyteller. Communicator

I’ve always had an interest in telling interesting, new and intriguing stories.

Whether it’s about uncovering the financial difficulties of a city or revealing a mother’s fight to provide special needs accommodations for her child, I’ve worked hard to deliver these messages to the public.

I’ve been a journalist for nearly 20 years. I’ve worked on numerous feature, business, political, government and health-related stories but am an education reporter at heart. I’ve reported on K-12 and higher education in Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida, California and nationally.

I believe that reporters have a duty to retell the stories and news they hear. I work every day to bring my belief to life through my writing. When I’m not writing, I love to geek out over Star Wars, Marvel and Disney. Or spend time with my husband and our family in Northern California.

Usually, I ask the questions, but have some for me? You can check out my resume and feel free to contact me.
