Ashley Barillas joins BrightGauge as Office Administrator

Written by Amanda McCluney | December 23, 2016

Help us give a warm welcome to the newest member of our team, Ashley!

The Early Days

Ashley was born and raised in Miami, a very common trend among the BrightGauge crew! As it turns out Ashley attended the same local high school, Doral Academy, as three of our other teammates (Kristian, Stephen, and Felipe) before enrolling at Florida International University where she would earn her BA in Sociology/Anthropology with a minor in Asian Studies.

After college, Ashley worked in a handful of other businesses focusing on administrative and bookkeeping work, which means that she brings a great deal of experience to our growing organization. First, she established herself at a local contemporary art gallery, Art Center South Florida, and then Ashley spent time with a family law office before accepting a role as Office Manager for an assisted living facility management company. Her next position was Senior Bookkeeper for her husband’s bookkeeping business, and the rest, as they say, is history because then Ashley heard about an opening at BrightGauge.

Joining the BrightGauge Crew

Ashley was first drawn to the BrightGauge team because we’re a family-owned company that places a ton of importance on maintaining a culture that emphasizes having fun, building an awesome product, and constant learning - while also making sure that our crew can easily balance work and personal time. She also loved the fact that we talk constantly about the importance of our customers and ways that we can help them succeed in their respective businesses by showing them the value of their data.

When we asked Ashley what she’s most excited about when it comes to joining our ranks, she told us that she’s really looking forward to “helping streamline BrightGauge processes as the company grows.” She goes on to say “I want to support and keep the cogs turning here so that we can keep growing.”

Outside the Office

When she’s not helping us to stay organized and running smooth, Ashley enjoys reading, spoiling her dogs, going to concerts, and checking out new activities with her husband and friends such as operas, plays, musicals, museums, bars, breweries, wineries, and more. She also loves traveling, kayaking, going to Disney World, Japanese culture and learning the Japanese language.
