We are excited to announce Ashlyn Ege as our new Communications Coordinator at Variety the Children’s Charity of St. Louis. Ashlyn plays a critical role in building awareness of our mission and vision across multiple audiences and platforms through communications campaigns and tactics.

Ashlyn graduated in May 2023 from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale with a bachelor’s in communication studies, specializing in public relations, along with a journalism and sociology minor. Ashlyn is excited to begin her career journey with Variety!

Ashlyn is passionate about diversity, equity and inclusion practices, also known as DE&I. She shares, “I am so incredibly thankful Variety gave me this opportunity! I am excited to lift the voices of this community, and ultimately help their mission be seen, heard and valued.”

She served on the executive board of SIUC’s chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America, PRSSA, as PR Director and President. She executed and managed her own campus-wide campaign as President known as the Kindness Project.
