Background

About Ashley Ryan

After spending 10 years in Washington, D.C. working at the intersection of policy, sales, and journalism, I have brought my skills back to my home state’s capital: Richmond, Virginia — and I am channeling them into purpose-driven work that makes a difference. My sweet spot? Marketing and outreach that moves people — whether it’s mobilizing stakeholders or engaging communities, I bring curiosity, strategy, and follow-through to my work. I specialize in developing compelling newsletters, writing impactful grant content, and cultivating strategic partnerships. With a background in B2B engagement across lobbying and government sectors, I know how to navigate complex systems — and I bring that same strategic mindset to community-focused work. I’m energized by the challenge of helping nonprofits tell their story, grow their base, and drive meaningful change. I’m fluent in CRM platforms like Salesforce and DOMO, love diving into Canva, and believe that good marketing starts with listening. If your mission is affordable housing, energy conservation, or engagement — I’m all in. Let’s connect and build something better together.
