Meet the Founder

Raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, Ashley grew up enjoying the beauty of a city rich in history and culture, sparking her interest to explore other unique destinations around the globe. After receiving her Master’s of Business Administration, Ashley moved to New York City where she began her decade-long career in the luxury fashion industry. Despite her corporate 9-5 desk job, Ashley always prioritized her time to travel throughout the U.S. and abroad – meticulously researching and planning each detail of the trip along the way.  It wasn’t long before she became a resource for friends, colleagues, and family seeking travel recommendations. 

In 2019, she decided to leave the fashion world behind and turn her experiences planning travel into a career.  Thus, The Atlas Upgrade was born. Ashley’s passion for seeking new adventures and her detail-oriented nature enable her to design unique and memorable experiences for her clients, which is truly the most rewarding part of her job.
