Ashley

President: Ashley

I have been a long time resident of Lafayette, McCutcheon High School graduate, and spent some time, at Ivy Tech. I was removed from the Army under don’t ask don’t tell. I have been involved with Pride Lafayette for many years. I was one of the founding members of OUTfest and in 2011, became the first female President of Pride Lafayette. I took some time off bought a home and met Jenny. We were married on our 3 Year Anniversary in 2018. I spend my time working at a small business in town, hanging out with my wife and 2 dogs, spending time with friends and donating my time to Pride Lafayette and Volunteering throughout the community.

Jenny
Secretary: Jenny
I have lived in Lafayette my entire life. I am an alumni of Jefferson High School and a 2 time alumni of Purdue University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology and a Master’s of Science in Education. I am a school counselor and reside in Lafayette with my incredible wife,  and 2 furkids. I am involved in Pride Lafayette because I not only care about giving back to my community, but also because I care about the future of my community and future generations growing up in this community. There is no other critical time than the here and now. Therefore, it is important to advocate and make change in order for all of us to live in an inclusive community, but more importantly for the future generations of lgbtq+ youth to not hesitate expressing their individuality
