Ashley Boynes-Shuck
Award-winning writer and dynamic communications expert with over a decade of experience in tech, digital health, entertainment, and marketing.
United States
I specialize in driving engagement and delivering results in writing, public relations, marketing, proofreading, and editing. My expertise spans leading teams, refining copy, crafting compelling stories, creative brainstorming, research, and executing viral campaigns.
Leveraging a diverse education and a strong background in marketing & social media, I’ve secured PR client placements in top publications like Rolling Stone, Teen Vogue, Variety, People, and more. I've written for the Huffington Post, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Healthline, and others, and my work has even been shared by the United Nations. Oprah Winfrey has also tweeted me about my work!
Additionally, I have met and/or interviewed many celebrities and public figures, ranging from Martha Stewart and Mark Zuckerberg to Diane Keaton, Ed Sheeran, Joe Manganiello, Nicole Scherzinger, Cindy Crawford, Gavin Rossdale, Hines Ward, Lance Bass, Jessica Simpson, JC Chasez, Jamie-Lynn Spears, Theresa Giudice, Ian Harding, Jared Leto, and more.
My strong emotional intelligence allows me to build genuine connections and navigate relationships with empathy, enhancing my impact in every project-- and I've often been told that I am "highly creative" and have a "way with words." As a published writer with certifications in Data Analytics, Positive Psychology, Songwriting, and Generative AI, I blend strategy with creativity and innovation to engage audiences authentically. My career has focused on tech, advocacy, and digital health, but my passion lies in transitioning back into the music industry.
I'm also very interested in music licensing, sync, intellectual property, and copyright law.
Currently seeking both part-time and freelance or contract opportunities, I’m eager to explore roles in brand partnerships, social media management, creative marketing, storytelling through content creation, and more. At present, my full-time day job is doing Data & Enterprise Management at two arts nonprofits-- a jazz organization and a dance theatre. Outside of work, I enjoy kayaking, birdwatching, going to concerts, traveling, playing guitar, tending to my houseplants, all things true crime, and spending time with my family, including my rescue pets.
