Ashley Garrett

Ashley leads strategic planning, business development, and corporate oversight to support our domestic and international response to human trafficking. She partners with governments, health care and behavioral health systems, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector to identify and respond to the needs of all trafficked individuals and address the root causes that make individuals, families, and communities at risk of trafficking.
