Passionate about mental health awareness and education, Ashley is committed to reducing the stigma surrounding mental and behavioral health care. She believes in creating a safe and supportive environment where young people feel empowered to seek help and grow.
Originally from South Carolina, Ashley moved to Alaska five years ago and now calls Palmer home. She shares her life with three dogs, two cats, two guinea pigs, and an assortment of fish—her cats, Vlad and Mina, are some of her favorite conversation topics!
In her free time, she enjoys reading, cross-stitching, and attending the theatre. She especially loves the transition from fall to winter, appreciating the cool temperatures before heavy snowfall arrives.
