Ashley’s love for Knoxville’s outdoor spaces and the vibrant energy of its community inspired her to create Knoxville Movement Collective. She’s passionate about sharing her love of Knoxville—getting outside, living a healthy lifestyle, and fitness with others.

Outside of KMC, you’ll often find Ashley at a brewery, checking out new coffee shops, playing guitar (poorly), or cheering on One Knox SC. Originally from Georgia, about 30 minutes north of Atlanta, she’s a huge Braves fan and has run several races with the Atlanta Track Club. Growing up, Ashley was a competitive figure skater until she was 14. She also raced with a cycling team in Georgia and participated in crit races and triathlons as a kid.

Ashley moved to Knoxville in 2019 to pursue her Business Analytics degree at UTK. After the pandemic, she started working full-time and is finishing her degree part-time (almost done!). With a diverse background in leadership, marketing, technical, and sales roles, she’s leveraged her skills to bring KMC to life and TURN IT INTO A FUN, SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY!
