Ashleigh Benedict: Photographer and Review: Music
With a history of on-stage performance and production work, Ashleigh has decided to see the stage through a different lens. As an IT technician by day, Ash has always had a natural feel for technology. Searching for a creative outlet after many years of performance as a jazz drummer and offstage as a theater lighting technician, Ash's love of music and design led her to pursue photography in the form of portrait work. With a few years of knowledge on her side, she photographed some local talent in late 2019, and a newfound love grew.
After a brief hiatus, Ashleigh is excited to continue honing her skills as part of our team. With an attention to detail, a passion for all things creative, and more than enough puns to go around, her ambition drives her to bring more inclusivity to the music industry.

Teresa Cardile: Entertainment Writer: Fashion
A jack of all trades, Teresa uses her people skills in customer service. Learning and listening to stories strangers share gives this creative a new perspective on life. When she’s not working in the food industry, you can find Teresa fixating on something new or thinking of the next theme for her fashion-based photoshoots.
Similar to most in their early teens, Teresa was still unsure about her true passions and interest until she was gifted her first DSLR. Along with the presence of a great high school photography teacher, she understood this fixation was not temporary.
