Ashley Lougheed is the CEO and founder of Girl Time Inc., a social club for everyday women and women in business.

She is a leader and a learner, with a diverse education including an Honours Degree in Sociology, a Bachelor of Education, a Degree in Interior Design and a Certificate in Event Planning.  
Ashley believes wholeheartedly that it’s time to connect and celebrate the rise of women as a collective vibration that is fuelled with love and compassion, bravery and greatness, empowerment and the readiness to thrive. She saw the needs, the wants and interests of women new and local to our town and has built a community to service those needs. At the end of the day, she is definitely a woman you want in your corner.
