I had the pleasure of working directly with Ashley as her planning partner during her tenure at Chicos as an Associate Merchant overseeing the Denim category from 2013 to 2017. During her tenure with Chicos, she worked diligently to elevate the Denim assortment and achieved professional success being promoted to Merchant and lending her talents to other banners within the Chicos FAS organization. Ashley is a passionate Merchant whose creative nature and strong understanding of her target customer leads her decision making process to curate an assortment that delivers on KPI targets. Ashley is an amazing partner to work with. As a developing merchant, she acquired a strong understanding of planning fundamentals, which enhanced her ability to manage and develop profitable product assortments for the categories she managed as she continued to grow in her career. Her collaboration with cross functional partners throughout the product lifecycle process led to smooth deliveries even with changes to the line along the way. I would highly recommend Ashley for a role requiring merchandising and category management and would be happy to provide a verbal reference upon request. Sincerely, Maelisa Coombs

I worked with Ashley when I was the Allocator responsible for White House Black Market Outlets and she was the Merchant, owning several of my departments. Ashley was an amazing partner as we worked together to get inventory to the right stores and drive the business. She was especially talented at helping me understand the sales expectations that she and the planner had when making the buy as well as informing me of specific marketing / merchandising plans so we could prioritize the correct stores and regions of the country. She excels at cross functional communication and was essential for me to be effective at my job.
