Digital Portfolios and profiles are becoming more and more important in today’s society. Standing out in a unique way online is what is getting individuals hired on the spot. Holt is

general is a common last name. To have Ashley sitting in front of Holt really doesn’t help the specific search when looking for myself, interests, hobbies and professional life online. In the

internet world, I am currently non-existent. With there being a famous chef named Ashley Holt as well as a popular news anchor with the exact same name, standing out on the internet is almost slim to none. No social media or personal unused profiles are retrieved during the search

at this point, nor am I an associate to anyone else’s profile(s.)
