At its meeting on July 16, the Ashland Select Board welcomed the town’s new Assistant Human Resources Director, Katie Khul. 

Khul, who lives in Framingham and started in May, has experience in human resources and payroll in both the private and non-profit sectors. She told the board the transition from her most recent non-profit position to municipal work has been smooth thus far. 

“It’s all about helping people,” said Khul. “I especially see that in the HR field. Where everyone else here is to help the public, we’re here to support everyone who helps the public.” 

Khul has a master’s in business administration from New England College of Business and a bachelor of arts from Regis College.
