Ashley Seals cut her teeth in do-gooding and the arts at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. as an events planner and fundraiser for such events at the National Symphony Orchestra Ball and the Kennedy Center Spring Gala. She performed similar work next for The Eastern Music Festival, a youth music education summer pogram in North Carolina, before moving to Los Angeles.  A songwriter, actor, and writer, her experience, talents, and grace under pressure make her uniquely suited to (wo)man the wheel of The Songwriting School.
