Ashley Gates
Administrative Assistant
Ashley attended UW-Stevens Point and graduated in 2022 with her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design. She was a tour guide for all four years and since graduating, she continued to spend the last few years recruiting for UW-Stevens Point. She worked as an Admissions Counselor before transitioning to the Wausau branch to continue supporting students. Her biggest takeaway from her time in Higher Education was that you are never "done" learning or growing.
Ashley was born and raised in the Northwest Chicagoland area and moved to Wisconsin in 2018. She spent five years in Stevens Point before moving to the Wausau area in 2023.
In her free time, Ashley enjoys binge-watching shows, playing video games, and above all, spending time with her partner, their baby, and their sassy calico, Punkin Spice. She also manages two small businesses with her partner, one creating wooden decorations and gifts, and the other creating digital/2D/3D art, custom design work, and photography. She is always doing something creative and looking for new ways to grow her skills. Her newest interests are woodburning, staining, and building and flipping furniture.
