Ashley moved to Colorado from Raleigh, NC with her husband in October of 2015. She has been teaching at The Children's World School since it opened in 2019 first as an assistant and now as a lead teacher.

Prior to working in the classroom, Ashley worked with children and adults with disabilities as a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist both in the public school system and in public community settings. Ashley loves seeing the growth that comes along with challenging students to try something new and expand their worlds. Her favorite part of the school day is circle time where she gets to see her students process and demonstrate new information and see curiosity form in real time!

When she isn’t in her classroom, you can find Ashley spending time with her husband and three children hiking, playing recreation league sports, reading, and traveling!
