Ashley Tribble is native to the midwest- She was born and raised in Cincinnati, OH, home of the Reds, Bengals and Graeter’s Ice Cream. She graduated from academically nationally ranked Walnut Hills High School, and immediately following, was the first person in her family to attend college.

Ashley attended THE Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business, where she obtained a BSBA concentrating on marketing and logistics. Upon completing her Bachelor’s degree, Ashley lived in Zanzibar, Tanzania, before making her transition to the workforce, where she taught English and Public Health as a volunteer aid. In 2011, Tribble moved to Chicago and started her career in the booming logistics industry. And, while her logistics 9 to 5 pays her bills, and makes her look very smart to all of her artist friends, Ashley’s real passion (and skills, to tell the truth) is in hosting!

Ashley began hosting Bar Trivia in 2014 for Chicago’s Whaddyaknow Team Trivia agency, and has since developed a loyal fan base at her weekly sets, where she doubles as the set DJ. Tribble has said that Trivia was the spark that reignited her passion for performance. The overwhelming and positive reaction that she gets from participants have supplied her with a newfound confidence in doing what she does best- talk. Recently, Ashley created a podcast called P Power Radio which she hosts, and produces on a weekly bases. The podcast highlights millenial women from around the country who share their stories with Ashley, while she narrates a history lesson for listeners to be enlightened by.

In addition to moving freight and hosting events, and producing and hosting her podcast, Ashley also serves as a Boys & Girls Club Volunteer, where she runs a program for middle and high school aged girls at the James R Jordan branch, and is a volunteer mentor with community organization Chicago Youth Opportunities Initiative.
