Today we welcome Ashley (Bauman) Payne to the podcast. The child of a police lieutenant, Ashley grew up going on ride-alongs with her dad, learning about the work he did out on the beat. As a first-generation college student, Ashley enrolled in her home state’s Indiana University, gravitating toward criminal justice in order to learn more of the academics behind a familiar field she found fascinating.
Encouraged to attend grad school by a professor who told her the University of Cincinnati was “the best,” Ashley earned her Master of Science in criminal justice and went on to pursue a doctorate focused on correctional rehabilitation, which she ultimately decided to forgo after four years of study. Hired on to work as a Research Associate with UC’s Corrections Institute, she earned an MBA to better understand the internal structure of criminal justice organizations.
Ashley fell in love with consulting during grad school and, in 2012, launched Bauman Consulting Group, a criminal justice consulting firm serving law enforcement, courts, corrections, and related public and social sector agencies. In this episode she discusses her passion for criminal justice consulting, dedicating herself to a life of research, some of her standout memories from UC, as well as her experience as an adjunct professor at UC’s Blue Ash campus. She also offers up some important advice for students exploring potential career paths.
