Human Resources Data Specialist II

hi im ashlie, love traveling, anything competive and deep conversations. I dream of touching down on every land. 

i believe relationships are the very best investment. 

a bit about my career: 

what started as a response to a layoff quickly transformed into a purpose-driven venture. i founded ashlie ciara consulting with the mission of helping organizations find clarity in their branding and elevate their impact through meaningful creative partnerships and collaborations.

as a consultant, I specialize in crafting brand strategies that resonate and drive connection—whether that’s through community-driven campaigns, unique brand activations, or innovative cross-sector partnerships.

in my role as chief operating officer at the TROY Center (TRULY REVIVING OUR YOUTH), I continue this passion by driving operational excellence and strategic growth in a space dedicated to empowerment and transformation. my love for the next generation and my desire to equip them powerfully, fuels my work here. 

I thrive at the intersection of creativity and strategy—and I love working with visionary leaders and organizations ready to take bold steps forward.


really excited to connect and learn from you!

hard truth




not every youth in juvenile hall is actually in trouble

some youth finish their sentence
and still don’t get to leave

not because they reoffended

they’re stuck

waiting for a foster care placement
that could take weeks, even months

once a kid has “priors”
or is considered “too old”
their chances drop even more

↳ they sit
↳ they wait
↳ they stay incarcerated


crazy, right? 

wanna know something crazier?

some kids become so afraid of foster care

or 

so heartbroken that they can’t return home

that they’ll commit a new crime inside

just to get rebooked, so they can stay in custody 

imagine being so scared of the outside

that staying locked up feels safer

that’s not a bad kid
that’s a failed system 


these kids aren’t asking for pity

they’re asking to be seen
really seen

when we understand the story
we change the outcome

curious what others who work with youth are seeing right now


no child should ever feel safer behind bars than outside of them

what if this thanksgiving
instead of asking “what do i bring?”
you asked “who can i serve?”



the world doesn’t change in big moments

it changes in kitchens
in community centers
in conversations that say

i see you. you matter.

a soft heart is a strong heart

curious if there is 1 person you can serve boldly this thanksgiving

"id rather be incarcerated, at least i’ll have food on thanksgiving"


the holidays are almost here and most families are making their lists

grocery runs
last minute travel
getting the house ready

and in the middle of all of this

youth are still incarcerated

still waking up in cold facilities
still following the same routine
still eating whatever tray is handed to them

thanksgiving is no different 

nothing special
nothing cozy
nothing that feels like home

I recently asked boys who’s getting released and who’s staying in during thanksgiving 

a few smiled with excitement 

others stared at the floor
because they already knew they weren’t leaving

then one young man raised his hand and said

id rather be incarcerated
at least i’ll have food on thanksgiving

my heart dropped

today in america
1 in 5 kids live in food insecure homes

more than 13 million children don’t know if they’ll eat every day

so yes
for some youth, thanksgiving inside a facility
is safer than thanksgiving at home

imagine that being your normal

and while you're 
cooking
decorating
traveling
and rushing to be everywhere at once

there are kids who feel relieved to spend thanksgiving behind bars
because the alternative is hunger

and that should break all of our hearts

curious to know what thoughts come to mind after reading this

neuroscience shows burnout can cut your focus by up to 60%.



you’re not distracted

you’re dysregulated

your nervous system is begging you to pause

↳ to breathe
↳ to come back home to yourself

you don’t need another caffeine fix

you need stillness

when your body feels safe

your mind remembers how to focus again
