Hi, I’m Ashley. I’m a content strategist and UX writer who moonlights as a freelance food and travel writer. Currently, I work at Google, training the AI chatbot/Large language model, Bard, for safety. I previously spent nearly four years as a help center content strategist at Instagram, specializing in security, safety, and policy content.

I’m always hungry and am down to travel just about anywhere. My writing has appeared in Bon Appétit, Lucky Peach, AFAR, NPR, Munchies, Eater, the San Francisco Chronicle, and others. I’ve also contributed to two Lucky Peach cookbooks.

I sometimes dabble in writing about feminism, health, and social issues, too. You can also find me working closely with photography and design teams throughout the creative process, giving art direction to anyone who will listen.

Originally from New York, I now live in San Francisco where I miss bagels, pizza, and snow days.
