Bio
Ngozi Ekeledo
I've had the pleasure of working with Ashley at NBC LX, and she is truly a star. In all of her work, Ashley radiates an authentic presence, command and news-gathering ability of the upmost quality, and she truly cares about the community and viewers she serves. Ashley is a tremendous asset to any newsroom as not only a strong reporter and host but an even stronger leader, project manager and producer. Ashley has the wonderful ability to connect with any person she comes in contact with, and it's this quality that also makes her such a wonderful teammate. Ashley is the new generation of a media gem: she not only delivers the news as a trustworthy and veritable source, she also makes it her own through her magnetic social media presence. Any organization would be incredibly lucky to have her.

Some people think asking questions is the easiest part of a journalist's job, and that might be because people like Ashley make it appear effortless. She takes the time to prepare the most illuminating, impactful questions, and then Ashley also has the ability to deliver on-camera in a way that reels in the viewer. It was such a pleasure to work with Ashley during our time at NBCLX. She elevated every conversation, interview, and story with her talent and passion. The newsroom she joins next will have found a true treasure — both as a journalist and a colleague.
