Marketing Strategist

While she’s the most recent hire to Noisefloor’s team, Ashton has spearheaded the marketing department as a freelancer since the fall of 2023.  While she truly began cultivating her love of sound in college after taking a post-production audio class, she first felt the creative spark when making fan edits for projects in high school, and began her college career as a prospective video editor. Since then, she has worked for a PR firm promoting local businesses in her hometown, hosted at a high-volume restaurant in Fulton Market, and continued building upon her sound & media knowledge of Foley, ADR, sound design, mixing, location sound recording, video editing, & motion graphics. Throughout these experiences, Ashton developed a love for the fast-paced nature of social media management, and a deep appreciation for how robust post-production sound takes a project from good to great. 

During her time at Columbia College Chicago, Ashton worked as a TA and Staff Engineer at the Post Production Audio Suite, and held executive roles for clubs as President of the Renegades Soccer Team and Treasurer of the Editors Guild of Columbia. She collaborated on a multitude of MFA and BFA thesis films as a supervising  sound editor, re-recording engineer, & Foley artist/recordist before graduating summa cum laude in 2024. 

In her new role, Ashton is looking forward to getting her hands on more sound experience and making audio more accessible for those who might be just starting out or looking to learn more.  In her free time, you can find Ashton reading, sewing, watching reality TV or the Grizzlies, chilling with her cat Nemo, and hanging out, taking a trip, or dancing the night away with her best friends.
