Ashley McLaughlin

Ashley is passionate about doing work that has a positive impact on both her own and other’s lives. She understands the importance of giving back to her community and that’s what drew her to nonprofit work.

Ashley has her Bachelor of Arts in Art History from Missouri State University. She runs her own business as a landscape painter and a freelance art teacher.

It’s the organization’s positive impact on the community that encouraged Ashley to join the BGCS team! She believes that children are our future and realizes that a robust community of support helps shape youth into strong, intelligent, well-equipped adults.

When she’s not working, Ashley loves hiking with her husband, going to museums, visiting new coffee shops and traveling to national parks.
