About Ashley

Ashely works as a fire protection / mechanical engineer for Morrison Hershfield in the Mission Critical Facilities Group. She started working in mission critical at the beginning of 2021. And her favorite part of working in the mission critical industry is the appreciation for forward thinking to produce the best designs for our clients and the community of peers that promote continued learning. If she did not work in the mission critical industry, she would still like to be a design or project engineer. She can’t really imagine working in a field that wasn’t related to design and or construction.
