A Gallup leadership assessment once informed me “you are part artist and part scientist - and comfortable working at the intersection of both”. Wait--does Gallup have spies? Are they Deep State??Part geek and part bohemian, I'm just as likely to begin a long email or blog post at 3A as I am to be down a rabbit hole about the mitochondrial DNA of invasive raccoons (true story). The takeaway here is that I sleep with my Macbook. Topline: - Writer + master communicator. Folks often think my education is Comms; it’s actually English Lit & Creative Writing. - Warm but rarely measured. Shoot from the hip and keep my throat chakra open. And yes - get to know me well enough and I'll probably mention a chakra. Or two.- I take my work very seriously; I rarely take myself seriously. Cheek knows tongue. - When I believe in something, I'm like a collie with a bone. Life and work can be summed up under two themes for me: STORY + STRATEGY. As a storyteller, I've been deeply fortunate to enjoy parallel careers as a writer/creative and an executive/clinical administrator in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Equally passionate about both, and despite Frostian posits about two roads diverged in a wood, I've never been able to take just one.My overarching mission is to optimize the life experience by engineering narratives + creating solutions that fuel profound connection. I'm open to all this can mean. I refer to myself as a "baby-making enthusiast" and "family-building evangelist", and am particularly passionate about the mission of affording all women better fertility care and family-forming options. ▶︎ 𝐄𝐗𝐄𝐂. I've been in ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) since 2008, and that work has made me deeply aware of the intimate relationship between educating women about their remarkable biology and empowering them to live well in all areas of life. ▶︎ 𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑. As a creative, I’ve been privileged to work in the advertising, tech, and production spaces with brands such as 310 Nutrition, Pax Labs, Koi Story Studios, Walden Media, Hallmark, WW, Shea Moisture, and Nike. I founded CLAIRE Fertility to address the delta between clinical fertility treatment and women’s comprehensive wellness. I’m embarrassingly zealous about FemTech and all the brilliant solutions it’s birthing to improve women's health.Always available to chat about ways I can work with others to improve clinical, cultural, and societal experiences for women + families.Let's chat:ashleigh@weareclaire.health
