Name: Ashley Tungate
Position: Executive Assistant & Marketing Coordinator
Where did you grow up?
Aldergrove, BC ? small town girl!
What inspired you or how did you start in the hospitality business?
I took some time off from the corporate world and went back to serving in early 2010. I started serving at COAST last June. After attending the Glowbal Group orientation and reading through the Employee Handbook, I felt myself being drawn back in. I was so inspired by what Glowbal Group had created ? and are still creating ? that I wanted to be a part of it. I made it a personal goal to switch over to the corporate side as soon as possible?and here I am!
Give a brief outline of your work history and accomplishments.
Prior to Glowbal Group, I was at TELUS for 5 years. I was an Event Manager, specifically in Event and Experiential Marketing. My portfolio consisted of executive level and flagship events, as well as Corporate Communications support. As part of Experiential Marketing I was also an extension of the TELUS Brand Team, so I also worked on various brand initiatives and acted as a consultant for other team members on their activations, events and programs.
What?s your favorite part of the restaurant business?
I love that the restaurant industry provides a platform for creating an experience for the guest and all who come into contact with it. The dynamic energy, creative freedom and constant growth result in an ever-evolving atmosphere where anything is possible.
Other than the restaurant business, what jobs or careers have you held?
One of my favorite jobs was in the music industry. I worked for a local artist here in Vancouver. I was afforded the opportunity to tour throughout Canada and even went to New York with the band. I?m also a certified personal trainer and former national level fitness competitor.
If you weren?t in this business, what would you be doing?
Singing, most definitely. I have been singing with cover bands for the last 5 years and about to start writing my own music. It is my number one passion. I firmly believe in following your heart?s desires as it inspires others to do the same.
Favorite meal?
I?m obsessed with burgers. It?s a Tungate trait. I was in Dubai in 2008 activating a TELUS program and when setting up our gala at the Burj, I decided it was most appropriate to try a burger from a 7-Star hotel. Only $230!
What don?t we know about you?
I miss my horse and horseback riding every day of my life. I competed in show-jumping for years but quit shortly after my dad passed away. I?d love to get back into horseback riding.
What do you do in your spare time?
I spend a lot of time with family, friends and my music, but I also love dabbling in new things. I enjoy throwing myself into new situations. I want to try burlesque dancing or the Vancouver Circus School next!
Perfect Friday night?
A perfect Friday night would be spent gigging / singing. If not performing myself, it would be catching a live show. Live music feeds the soul.
Favorite song to sing?
How do I choose? I love performing all classic rock. But if I have to choose I?d say ?Somebody to Love? by Queen.
Who inspires you?
I have been blessed to always be surrounded by strong, driven and down to earth women ? they all continue to inspire me. Also, anyone who is following their passion, whatever it may be. Seeing anyone in their element is incredibly inspiring.
