She has served in the military, is married, and is a devoted parent to her own children. She currently works in hospice care, supporting individuals and families through grief and end-of-life transitions. She earned her Master of Social Work in May 2022 and continues to pursue her passion for advocacy. Ashley is hardworking, dedicated, and deeply caring. She hopes to continue her professional growth by passing her clinical licensure exam and furthering her ability to advocate for children in foster care, giving back the same support she once received.

Ashley has worked so hard to get where she is, and she recently graduated with a Masters Degree in Social work and has started in amazing job. She is so excited she gets to wear professional clothes and have nice nails to make a good impression and present herself professionally. She has started doing her own nails and has been borrowing items from a friend to do this. She would love to get her own, UV light for curing, a removal kit and some new colors to make her nails look amazing. Not only will this save her money in the long run, but it has been a great conversation piece with the youth at her new job.
