Our Board of Directors

Ashley is the founder of the MRKH Canada (previously Canada’s MRKH Conference) and an MRKH advocate located in Kingston, ON, Canada. For three years, she was the sole organizer of Canada's Annual MRKH Conference, but in 2021, brought together a team of passionate individuals to help her continue and expand her mission. As an advocate, she has spoken to MRKH people and supporters at international MRKH conferences, students at Queen's University and La Salle Secondary School, and publicly at organized fundraisers for Canada’s MRKH Conference gaining media attention from local news stations and newspapers. She has also taken her advocacy to the digital world as an influencer on TikTok, sharing her story with over 38K followers. With a diploma in Journalism and Public Relations & Event Management, Ashley works as a Director of Sales & Marketing by day, but enjoys her side hustles of photography and freelance writing outside of work. When not working or advocating, Ashley loves to play music and spend time with her family.

Sheila is a Belleville girl and has lived in the area her entire life. Growing up in the 1970s, MRKH was an unheard-of syndrome and the symptoms weren’t talked about because such things were stigmatized by society in those days. With the advent of the Internet and search engines, she discovered she wasn’t alone and the myriad of symptoms she experienced had a name. She became self-educated on the topic of MRKH. It is now part of Sheila’s mission to connect people with MRKH to each other so they can support each other and have access to much needed resources. It’s also her hope to network with women in her own age group with MRKH. Sheila has worked in the CRM/technology support business for over 20 years, lately as a Case Manager. When not working she enjoys the gym, long walks, her pets, and hanging out with her husband and family.
