Hi, I am Ashlee
As a member of NBC News, I am currently working in a variety of roles spanning across a powerful collection of news brands. I serve as an Overnight Assignment Editor, Weekend White House Desk Assistant, and MSNBC Production Coordinator, to list a few. Thriving in a fast-paced environment, I have demonstrated my ability to collaborate with Producers, Crews, and Bureau Leaders across all of the units. Prior to NBC, I interned with the CNN Investigation Unit in Washington D.C. where I assisted the Russia Unit on the Paul Manafort trial and was also proud to have worked on the investigation of the former EPA Administrator, Scott Pruitt, which ultimately led to Pruitt’s dismissal.
Over the past 5 years, I have been fortunate to have worked as a Field Producer, Editor, Second Unit Director, Production Coordinator/Assistant on several projects that have aired on NBC News Now, PBS National, Fox Sports Florida, ESPN 3, and ACC Network.
