We’re offering up wishes for the happiest of VizEds birthdays today to Ashley Mills, a young photojournalist who graduated earlier this year from Penn State University. Ashley turns 22 today.

A few samples of Ashley’s work:

Currently, Ashley is working in a grocery story and free-lancing for The Williamsport (Pa.) Sun Gazette. She writes in her blog that she’s hoping to be hired by my former paper, The Des Moines Register.

Good luck with that, Ashley. The Register is a fine paper. I think they’d be lucky to have you.

Ashley shares a birthday with Sam Hundley of The Virginian-Pilot, tennis star Serena Williams, actor Linda Hamilton, singer Olivia Newton-John and writer T.S. Eliot.

Plus, today is National Pancake Day. Seriously.

Happy birthday, Ashley! Best wishes!
