We've had tons of conversations off the mic, and we were finally able to record one with the active, energizing, and fierce Ashley Miser. Ashley is the Vice President at IndyHub, a local nonprofit whose mission is to grow, engage and empower a community of 20-and 30-somethings who are meaningfully connected to Indy and invested in its future. We got Ashley's perspective on the culture of our city, young professionals' levels of connection, and the success of IndyVolved 15. In every conversation we have, I always learn something new about Indy. Always reminding me to never sleep on Naptown.

She’s crushing her career in public service by way of community outreach and communications after starting out in college with aspirations of being...a dentist. What a change in course! We get ultra-detailed about the things our friends don’t tell us about childbirth and the early days of mothering (you’re welcome), what efforts she’s putting forth to practice self-care and how we can all give back to our communities by volunteering.
