40 Under 40: Ashley Farkas, Executive Director of Public Relations, MGM Resorts International

Ashley Farkas

Ashley Farkas planned to be a broadcast journalist, but she found her joy in the world of PR. It’s probably no surprise that her favorite aspect of her job is media relations—the perfect marriage of her intended and actual career. She thrives on building buzz, creating awareness and driving business for brands.

With MGM Resorts International, Farkas works with journalists and news outlets around the globe to share its world-class experiences and amenities when it comes to entertainment, restaurants, accommodations, attractions and more. And while securing a great placement exhilarates her, Farkas is most proud when witnessing the professional and personal growth of her team. To mentor and help them achieve their goals gives her purpose.

Farkas’ giving spirit doesn’t stop at her day job. She regularly volunteers at Three Square Food Bank to pack lunches for those in need and she is an advocate for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Las Vegas Chapter and Be The Match Southwest District.
