Ashley Leighton is a proud native of NEPA. Being born and raised in the local area, she attended Holy Redeemer High School and King’s College in Wilkes-Barre, PA. After graduating from King’s College, Ashley dove into the professional world with her work centering around supporting employees in various ways. Most of her professional work has been within the Human Resources field. Ashley’s passion for helping others and guiding individuals through the employment journey brings her much fulfillment professionally.
Ashley grew up in an environment that welcomed and fostered individuals with disabilities to be themselves and strive to do great things. Being the niece of an individual with disabilities, she was granted the gift of seeing the world through a different lens which molded her into the person she is today. Ashley’s work on the Coffee Inclusive Board will be in honor of her late uncle, Patrick Leighton.
The combination of Ashleys upbringing, local roots, and instinct to help others is what makes being part of the Coffee Inclusive Board so exciting.
