"Ashley's energy, charm, humor, and authentic warmth were a perfect fit 

for our event and helped us reached our goals for the evening. 

We love working with her!"

- Deborah Frockt, Executive Director, WWIN

​

Ashley Northup is a seasoned auctioneer and emcee who brings a rare combination of wit, warmth, and authenticity to every stage. A former public school teacher with a Master’s Degree in Special Education, Ashley first learned how to keep the toughest audience of all — teenagers — fully engaged. Today, she keeps donors engaged with that same mix of humor, presence, and natural charm.

​

Ashley has partnered with dozens of organizations to inspire generosity, including Lakeside School, Best Buddies, WWIN (Washington Women in Need), The Assistance League, Long Live the Kings, the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, KIDS Center (Bend), Southwest Youth and Family Services, St. Thomas School, LeMay America’s Car Museum, Westside School, Cascadia Art Museum, and many more.

​

When she’s not on stage, Ashley is a certified yoga instructor specializing in chair yoga for seniors, and she’s often found flying through the air on a trapeze. At home in Seattle, she’s happiest entertaining her husband, Fred, and their two kids.

"THANK YOU ASHLEY! It was such a great time, and we just loved having you there. We’ve had so many guests say how amazing you were, and I’m right there with them. We are so grateful for the opportunity to work with you, and I hope we get the chance to work together again!"

- Desiree Taylor, Development Director, Long Live the Kings
