💜✨ Meet Our First Nominee for October’s FIERCE Woman of the Month – Frightful Professions! ✨💜

It pays to be FIERCE when you have colleagues like Ashley Pfalzer — and some of them don’t exactly have a pulse. 💀

Ashley spends her days surrounded by a disembodied brain-in-a-jar, lifelike cadavers, and eerily realistic trauma victims. As a special effects (SFX) artist, she brings the unreal to life for medical schools and emergency training — crafting every bruise, wound, and scar with precision and artistry.

A graduate of Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects program near Pittsburgh, Ashley now works for Echo Healthcare in Sarasota, using her creativity and skill to make simulations that help save real lives.

Talk about a career that’s both frightful and FIERCE! 💪
