You Do Amazing Work—We Help You Do It Better

"The work Dr. Shipley and I did together directly improved access to USDA programs for rural families and businesses, which has continued to influence my approach to serving clients in my estate planning practice today. I recommend working with her because she brings both the analytical rigor and the heart needed for transformative work. Dr. Shipley is someone who gets things done while never losing sight of the people she is ultimately serving."

"Ahlishia exemplifies what it means to lead with purpose, strategy, and heart. At USDA, I had the privilege of working alongside her as she quietly shaped some of the department’s most impactful efforts. She was a trusted voice across the department, often sought out by senior leadership for her insight and guidance—not because she sought credit, but because she consistently delivered. What sets Ahlishia apart isn’t just her ability to execute at the highest level—it’s how she shows up. She’s a joy to work with."

"Dr. Shipley was the program officer for a grant I was awarded.  Her goal was always to get to yes on requests we might be making while upholding the guidelines, rules, and laws governing our work— and that meant that we looked forward to our calls and connections rather than dreading them as we would with some program officers. I’m thrilled to know she is moving into the realm of consulting and advising and look forward to engaging her as soon as it makes sense for me in my current role." 

"I met Ahlishia for the first time at the Texas Hispanic Farmer and Rancher Conference/Food Summit in McAllen, TX. Her work with NIFA produced meaningful relationships with partners on the ground and was a reflection of her commitment to food security, health and nutrition, community partnerships, and elevating the agency’s profile in state and local communities. She was a joy to connect with, as were her partners at the conference."

"It was such a pleasure working with Ahlishia particularly in farmer related programs that impacted many undeserved and under represented farmers in Alabama. Ahlishia's passion for rendering support and meeting the needs of farmers by showing her presence to speak with them on farm related programs truly shows her caring spirit."

"I had the opportunity to work with Ahlishia Shipley during our time at USDA on several farmer-focused and cooperative extension efforts. What always stood out to me was her passion for the work and her deep commitment to the people we served. She has a way of bringing folks together, connecting policy to real-world needs, and keeping community at the center. Ahlishia leads with heart and purpose, and I’d work with her again without hesitation."
