When she was 14 her father was diagnosed with a terminal brain disease and passed away only eight months later. Her mother was unable to care for her and her sister and they ended up in foster care. Living in a group home she graduated from high school and went on to college where she graduated with her degree in Psychology. She has done a lot with her life, including joining the military, getting married, and having beautiful children of her own. She is currently working in hospice to help others through their grief. She received her Master's in Social work in May 2022. and hopes to advocate for children in foster care, as her team advocated for her.

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.
