Ashley is certainly one to embrace change.
It's probably due to the fact that she grew up
in Minneapolis, MN; Philadelphia, PA; West
Chicago, IL; Watertown, La Crosse, and
Manitowoc, WI, where her family now resides.

Ashley landed leads in high school,
including Miss Adelaide in GUYS AND
DOLLS and Miss Hannigan in ANNIE,
but it wasn’t until a close friend
encouraged her to go for it that Ashley
took off with it. At the same time, she
continued to play piano and show
horses, at times shoveling a lot of horse
manure in exchange to ride.

Ashley didn't start theatre until she was a sophomore in
high school. It was through numerous piano summer camp
competitions where Ashley first discovered her love of
musical theatre, because watching musicals was a way to
score points. Being very competitive, Ashley watched
every musical available on video in order to win.
