Colleagues describe her as "From my first interaction over the phone, to our sustained email correspondence today, Ashley shows unlimited enthusiasm for her work, a deep understanding of USAID’s mission, and demonstrates a high level of competency on a wide-ranging and complex set of issues and countries. She dives deep not only into her own portfolio, but quickly gains command of additional portfolios as needed. I could come to Ashley with any question knowing that she could call upon her extensive background and experience in the region, coupled with a permeating network of contacts in and outside of USAID, to provide the answer. Ashley was not only my supervisor, but also my mentor within USAID. She led by example, but was always taking time to check in with me regarding the workload, providing feedback on my projects and assignments, or to discuss my future career goals at USAID and the federal government at-large. Ashley quickly and efficiently brought me on board and I immediately felt like a contributing member of the East Africa team. As a supervisor, she was direct and clear in her communication to me, whether by email or in person. A team player, Ashley never backed down from additional responsibilities; however, recognizing the contributions others could make, she was an effective delegator and collaborator on large projects and time-sensitive tasks. Her trust in my abilities provided me with the most comprehensive internship experience possible at USAID. As a mentor, she was supportive and encouraging in our many forthright discussions about public service. Even as early as the phone interview for the internship, Ashley promoted USAID and the PMF program as potential career goals given my previous background. Thanks largely in part to her diligence and determination to make my internship as informative and stimulating as possible, I am considering joining USAID following graduation from my masters program. I highly recommend Ashley Marcus as a valuable contributor to any organization and I look forward for the opportunity to work with her again in the future."

Listed skills include International Development, International Relations, Capacity Building, Policy Analysis, and 23 others.
