Dr. Jennifer Ashton Signs With CAA (EXCLUSIVE)

Emmy Award-winning journalist and best-selling author Dr. Jennifer Ashton has signed with CAA.

Ashton was most recently ABC News’ chief health and medical correspondent. She also co-hosted “GMA3: What You Need to Know,” where she informed viewers about the latest breaking health and medical news.

Ashton was the only network medical correspondent who is also a double board-certified OB-GYN specializing in women’s health, and the only doctor with a national media platform holding a degree in nutrition and obesity medicine.

Ashton recently stepped away from ABC News to focus on her new women’s health and wellness media company, Ajenda. Ajenda, which launched in March with a newsletter, was inspired by Ashton’s commitment to addressing and improving women’s health issues, and the need for facts and honesty around menopause and weight management in today’s health conversation.
