Ashley became interested in religion, because she loves books. From the illustrated Bible she had as a kid to the Tao Te Ching she picked up
in high school, books guided her interest in religion. Well, books
and travel. Ashley can still recall lighting incense in a Buddhist
temple in China at the age of six.
Now a days, Ashley has a Ph.D. in media and religion from the University of Colorado-Boulder. She also holds an M.A. in journalism, an M.A. in Religious Studies, and a B.A. in Religious Studies. Needless to say, Ashley has spent most of her life studying religion, politics, and culture. She’s truly a #ReligionNerd.
Ashley is the one woman team behind Religionish. She hosts, produces, and edits all the content you hear in the show.
