Ashley was born in Massachusetts. In January 2025, she was placed with her current caregiver through a fictive kinship arrangement, referred by Child and Youth Services (CYS). Seeking refuge, she moved in with her foster mom, who is her next-door neighbor. Ashley has been accepted to community college and plans to transfer to either Kutztown University or Alvernia University to pursue a degree in art history or a related field. She aspires to become a museum curator.
