Our Story
Having spent more than 15 years in various research roles, working with a diverse group of people of different backgrounds, Ashley Dory always wanted to put together a dream team of her own. Bringing together a group of awesome people, who also happen to be extremely brilliant and desire to execute and support high-quality research, Dory Consulting was formed.
Demanding high quality in her personal work, Ashley's team reflects her values and vision - only the best of the best.
​
All Dory Consultants possess advanced degrees, most with more than 10 years of experience.
What's up with that bird logo?
BLUF? People get nicknames when you're working the third shift doing sleep deprivation studies.
Background: While staying late at the lab to keep an eye on participants, Ashley would get extra cold and bundle up a bit. (Did you know your body temperature decreases slightly at night time?) She was often referred to by her maiden name at that time, which contributed to the nickname "Arctic Tern," a type of bird. Eventually that became a mouthful, so it morphed into just "Bird."
As it continued to follow her for many years (e.g., the person who officiated her wedding was who gave her the nickname), a bird was a logical choice for a logo, representing Ashley's early science career, where she really found a true love for research. It also provides a constant reminder of the group of colleagues she worked with at that time, the OG dream team.

The chickadee was specifically chosen for Dory Consulting as it is often referenced as symbolizing positive traits such as joy, determination, adaptability, socialness, and fearless, to name a few. I mean, look at it, isn't it cute? Doesn't it bring you some joy while you're thinking about doing research!?
