Ashley Parks, Volunteer and Community Engagement Specialist, Ronald McDonald House Charities.
Working from the Family Room at the new Primary Children’s Hospital in Lehi, Ashley plays a vital role in supporting families during their most challenging times. As a cancer mom, she understands all too well the difficulties of caring for a child that requires intense medical treatment.  She is honored to bring what she has learned as a parent to her professional role.  Ashley is responsible for onboarding and training all volunteers in the Lehi Family Room and oversees the impactful Adopt-a-Meal program, which invites community members to provide meals on-site to hospitalized families. She is also responsible for raising awareness and support of RMHC's mission in Utah County.  She is the mother of five, the reluctant pet-owner of three, and enjoys not-crafting, running, singing and playing the ukulele.
