Hi Everybody!
My name is Ashley Smith and I’m Head of Community here at Stage 32!
Prior to joining this incredible team, I spent nearly 7 years at a boutique development and talent management company where I was deeply involved with every development project, management client, and administrative aspect of running the company. I oversaw a rich development slate of films, ongoing series, and limited series across genres and developed projects for Amazon, Sony TV, FX, Universal TV, Paramount TV, Legendary Global, MGM, A&E, Concord Originals, and many others.
Here at Stage 32, I’m honored to oversee this fantastic Community. As well as the daily Blog, weekly AMAs, monthly in-person Meetups, and numerous volunteer efforts to make your time here at Stage 32 as helpful and resourceful as possible. It’s always my goal to bring you all exciting resources and information to help you network, connect, and learn more about various disciplines and processes within the entertainment industry. I’d love to know what you all enjoy most about being a part of the Stage 32 community, what you’d like to see more of, the kind of AMAs that you’d like to see in the lounges, and the type of blog topics that you would enjoy!
What holiday traditions or plans are you most looking forward to? Every year I go on a trip during the holidays with my husband Jordan and my sister Caterina. We call them our Christmas Adventures! We like to explore a different city each year, take pictures, wear matching pajamas, make new memories, and just have fun. We've spent the holidays zooming through the streets of San Diego on Segways, getting tattoos in New Orleans, running through beaches in Malibu, riding roller coasters at Magic Mountain, getting tipsy on a boat in Cabo San Lucas, walking the San Antonio Riverwalk, sitting on the Galveston Island seawall, and this year we'll be chilling by the pool on South Padre Island. I look forward to these days with my two favorite people all year long. What about you?
Also, shoutout to the snowman that Jordan and I decorated our apartment door with this week, for a door decorating contest! We didn't win, but I'm crazy proud of it. I think we were robbed, to be honest. =)

Thank you, Sandra Isabel Correia! That sounds like a beautiful tradition. I can't wait to see your photos on Instagram!
733 is just our apartment number. We wanted to make sure it was still visible on the door so that the mailman wouldn't get lost. Lol!

Thank you, Leonardo Ramirez!! If you were closer, you'd totally get to babysit the Bathound any time!! And I would LOVE to take a cruise sometime soon, I haven't been on one since my wedding about 8 years ago.
