We are stoked to introduce you to Ashley Chura, 3rd Engineer, Marketing.

At Tugboat, Ashley is responsible for pretty much anything we throw at her and, she's a damned good catch. Marketing analysis and strategy, creative, you name it. She's also driving social media activities for our clients and hitting it out of the park already - see the Apples of Movember tweets for JIND Fruit. #winning.

Originally from Victoria, Ashley spent her first two years of post-secondary school at Acadia University in Nova Scotia, aiming for a career in politics. After realizing the drab reality of having to wear a suit every day, she flew back to the West Coast to find a career that better suited her nature. Eventually, the lurid appeal of marketing drew the young and impressionable Ashley into its embrace and three years later she completed her BBA in Marketing Communications Management from Camosun College.

For Ashley, marketing is like a puzzle that she needs to put together. So, from press releases to social media campaigns, Ashley looks to put the pieces together to help an organization achieve its goals.

When Ashley is not thinking about marketing, she enjoys cooking, engaging in sports and spending time on Facebook. (Just kidding about the last one). If you can't find Ashley on a softball field, in a skating rink or on a tennis court, you will find her in the kitchen. She loves to try new recipes that allow her to work with a variety of spices to expand her creativity.
