Hi, I'm Ashley! I was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, where I developed a deep appreciation for the rich history and culture of my city. As I grew up, I became increasingly curious about other unique destinations around the world and made it a personal mission to explore as many as possible.

After completing my Master's in Business Administration, I made the move to New York City and began my career in the luxury fashion industry, where I worked for a decade. Despite my busy corporate 9-5 desk job, I always made time to travel both domestically and internationally. I thoroughly researched and planned every detail of my trips, and my passion for travel soon made me a go-to resource for friends, family, and colleagues seeking recommendations.

In 2021, I decided to turn my passion for travel into a full-time career and founded The Atlas Upgrade. This venture has allowed me to combine my love of exploring new destinations with my detail-oriented nature, and I find the process of designing unique and memorable travel experiences for my clients to be incredibly rewarding. I feel fortunate to be able to turn my passion into my profession and am excited to continue helping others make unforgettable travel memories.
