Dominique Floyd has been the Associate Director of Front Porch since 2017, before then she was an intern for two years starting in 2015. One of her favorite parts of Front Porch is the consistency it offers in seeing students daily and getting to connect with them. Dom has a BA in Psychology from Azusa Pacific University. She is passionate about personal and leadership development. Dom loves living on the Central Coast and exploring all it offers with her husband, Barrett, and their pups—Charlie and Pliny. She enjoys reading, taking a barre class, listening to podcasts, and catching with friends and family.
Ashton graduated from Cal Poly in 2025 with a B.S. in Business Administration and concentration in Accounting. After his friends took him to an open mic, Ashton quickly fell in love with Front Porch and its community. Most of his time as a student was spent here - studying, volunteering, hanging out, or jamming with others in the back room.
When Front Porch started looking for new staff members, there was no doubt in his mind that he’d want to get in on the fun.
This year, Ashton is so excited to be a part of the team that helps make Front Porch the go-to third space for so many students. He also continues to be involved with the local SLO music scene and plays shows around town whenever he can.
