    Loves to be in the company of great friends and ideas. When Voodoo found her, she jumped! Ashley has explored the arts, education and most recently healthcare to discover this universal truth: “What’s done in love is done well” -Van Gogh. A midwestern transplant, she found community at Westminster College and the Utah Arts Festival. Community is what it’s all about isn’t it? Today Ashley is a proud resident of Sugar House where she lives with her beautiful husband and dachshund. For more career info or to connect, see you on LinkedIn. To say hi, we are on fairway number two of Forest Dale Golf Course, and she’ll toss you a cold beverage. Cheers!

    Jenn Niedfeldt has found that no matter where else she goes in life, she always finds her home again in the arts, the great connector of all things that really matter, and especially in theatre. As you can imagine, she was absolutely thrilled to jump in with Voodoo Theatre! Through the years, Jenn's professional passions have dwelt in the nonprofit and government spheres in education, development, marketing, and arts administration. In her personal life, Jenn is equal parts arts addict and nature nerd and loves participating in her yearly Christmas community choir, taking part in local theatre on- or off-stage, birding, making cupcakes, and finding amazing food while traveling.
