Ashley Swazey is an aspiring wedding photographer studying photography at Northern Arizona University. She’s 19 and has been writing angst poetry before she was a teenager. She has her own photography business and loves to sing, sew, and create.
Fun fact: Swazey made her own prom dress. She’s obsessed with seafoam green and has obnoxiously red hair that bleeds in the shower.
She went to Arizona State University for a year and a half, before realizing she hated everything about it.
Another fun fact: Swazey has a pet snake.
She hopes to live in Seattle when she grows up and she wants to adopt a baby from Africa.
Swazey’s mother is a flight attendant so she can fly anywhere practically for free. She likes to brag about having been to Ireland, London, Paris, Rome, Venice, Vienna, Austria, Prague, Czech Republic, and Germany.
Last fun fact: Swazey is often told she resembles Julia Styles, a comment she detests.
Swazey is very involved in the speech and debate scene, having participated for two years in high school and coached for a year and a half in college. This is where she discovered the art of slam poetry.
She began writing and performing her own poems in competition, which is incidentally completely against the rules. But she only lives once.
