Lourdes University

After many years serving the Tiffin community as a photographer Ashley had the pleasure of working with Tiffin University’s marketing department and fell in love with the campus. The faculty, staff and students at TU welcomed her in as one of their own which ultimately led her to a career change. In her role as an Online Admissions Counselor she looks forward to meeting new students and helping them achieve their goals with professional development through education. Her motto is that every day is the first day of the rest of your life.  It’s never too late to chase your dreams.

As well as working for TU, Ashley is a native Californian that loves the ocean, tacos, music and traveling.  Outside of the office you will still find her with a camera in hand creating art for families across Northwest Ohio. She also loves reading and writing in her spare time, but most importantly she takes pride in being a mom to her three boys.

Tim handles recruitment and assists with students’ needs during the process of enrollment in our online classes here at Tiffin. He helps answer questions about degree fields for both transfer students and those looking to begin at TU after their high school graduation. Utilizing his written and communication skills after 25 years as a professional radio broadcaster in both news and sports, Tim is well-versed in being responsive to students as they navigate all the avenues of the application process.

For most of his professional career, he worked out west in Montana, Wyoming and Kansas winning a number of statewide awards for broadcast excellence before returning to Ohio in 2018. Originally from Columbus Ohio, Tim attended St. Francis DeSales High School before receiving his bachelor’s degree in communications at Ohio University. He broadcasts local radio high school sports and in his spare time enjoys nights at home with his wife, Tracey, and 4-year-old son Memphis. An avid sports fan, history buff and karaoke performer, his upbeat nature always wants to brighten someone’s day. Tim also understands the importance of helping students achieve their personal and career goals, which is why he is so eager to help students in this position at Tiffin University.

After my service in the United States Army Infantry, I worked in the hospitality industry for nearly 10 years. After several years within the industry, I discovered a 4-year degree was necessary to advance toward my goals of management. After careful research, I decided to attend Tiffin University in 2013 and graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Management. After working at a resort in Palm Beach, Florida for several years, I relocated to Dallas, Texas to continue personal growth. After a few more years in the hospitality industry, I decided to make a career change. 

In 2020 I moved back to my childhood city of Cincinnati, Ohio to pursue a career in Property Management. While in Cincinnati, I frequently visited Tiffin to meet with friends and enjoy the area of my alma mater. Eventually, I decided to relocate back to Tiffin in early 2022 with the intention of continuing my education and seeking a career within education and learning. Having over 4 years of experience as a seated student at Tiffin University, with a firm understanding of the University’s campus and culture, I decided to apply my knowledge as a tool for current/future students.

Living in Tiffin again has revitalized my passion for continuing education and enjoying the journey. I am very motivated to provide insight, support, and encouragement to all people with a desire to learn. As a Graduate Admissions Counselor, I am personally invested in the overall success and betterment of everyone I speak with on a daily basis.

When out of the office, I enjoy spending time with family/friends, camping, sports, grilling, and meeting interesting new people!

Though I’m originally from Virginia Beach, I’ve lived in Ohio for the last two decades and consider myself much more a native Ohioan than Virginian. I’ve always enjoyed learning in any form I can find and perhaps it was this thirst for knowledge which drove me into both a Bachelors and a subsequent Masters program at Bowling Green State University, the former earned in 2015 and the latter in 2020.

Higher education always felt rather comfortable to me. I enjoyed the coursework and the overall atmosphere of learning and self-improvement that a university seems inevitably to foster. As a result, it seemed only natural that, as a newly minted MA, I would focus my job search in the field that had always felt so much like home. My love of learning and desire to help others have access to the same educational opportunities I’ve been lucky enough to experience made admissions a particularly enticing field, so when I heard about an opening in Tiffin University’s Online Admissions department I jumped at the chance.

Outside of work, I fill my time in any number of ways. Reading has always been a major focus of my life and I still devour nearly every book I can get my hands on, regardless of genre. Additionally, I’ve always enjoyed watching sports, mainly baseball and football, and I’ve fostered a deep appreciation for gaming, both in a virtual environment and in a more traditional tabletop structure. I tend to spend my weekends with my family and particularly enjoy the company of my young niece and nephew, who are more than adorable enough to make up for their rambunctious nature.
