Ashley’s parents, both graduates of Central High School, instilled in her an appreciation of education and a commitment to serve. After undergraduate school, Ashley moved back to the DC metro area to be with her family and pursue a career as an educator.

Using her platform as an award-winning educator and leader, she applied her experiences from traditional public and private schools to influence change in the national arena on education, mental health and addiction, workforce, and other intersecting issues impacting communities.

Seeking greater proximity to changes she wants to see in her community, Ashley returned to the local level. She leads key efforts of an initiative impacting over 50,000 students in DC and Chairs the Education, Health and Human Services committee as a municipal leader in Prince George’s county. Her varied personal, community, and professional experiences help her to continuously learn and think systemically while driving change aimed at meeting the diverse needs of students and families.

Ashley holds a masters in education from Johns Hopkins University, is certified in Agile Leadership for Organizations, and trained in board leadership.

She developed the skills and expertise needed to support and influence programs across education, nonprofit and government sectors as a practitioner and through her continued studies in Program Evaluation at Georgetown University.

Ashley envisions excellence in every school and for every student. Every day!
