Known for her strong “withitness”, an intuitive sense of everything happening in her school, Ashley is passionate about building joyful, inclusive learning communities. She thrives on collaboration, creativity, and making school a place where students feel seen and excited to learn. She also takes pride in knowing the names and stories of each student and family in her care.

Outside of school, Ashley cherishes time with her family and loves all things adventurous and creative. She enjoys food from places like India and Thailand, trying out new nail designs and colors, and going camping every October. Whether building with Legos, diving into a good book, or working on a new craft, she brings her full heart to everything she does, at school and home.
