Multitasking extraordinaire, people connector, mother of two, and enthusiastic fan of a glass of Idaho Tempranillo, Ashlee brings energy and heart to everything she does. Originally from South Dakota, she moved to Boise more than a decade ago, launching her beverage career in the beer industry before discovering that wine—specifically Idaho wine—had truly captured her interest.

Since joining the Idaho Wine Commission, Ashlee has become a passionate advocate for the state’s wine community. She holds a WSET Level 1 certification and is a proud graduate of Leadership Idaho Agriculture (Class 43), experiences that continue to shape her appreciation for both the craft and the agricultural roots of the industry.

Ashlee puts her skills to work by planning educational seminars throughout the year, coordinating the Annual Meeting and Savor Idaho, crafting itineraries for visiting media, building lasting partnerships through sponsorships, and responding to the many inquiries the Commission receives from consumers and industry professionals alike. No two days are ever the same—and that’s exactly how she likes it.

Outside of work, Ashlee enjoys traveling with her family, catching live music whenever she can, and sending handwritten notes to friends and family—because a little snail mail still goes a long way.
