About

     At just 3 years old, Ashley made her first appearance on stage, singing a solo of "This Little Light of Mine" in her church's children's choir. Since then, she's been hooked on performing and took various dance classes from kindergarten to senior year in high school. While she values being well-rounded in all dance styles, her real passion lies in tap dancing. Ashley also played the bass drum in her school's drumline and sang in different voice parts in her women's choir. It wasn't until her sophomore year of high school, when a close friend encouraged her to try musical theatre, that Ashley made her debut in Peter Pan Jr. at the Apollo Civic Theatre in Martinsburg, West Virginia.

     Ashley earned a BA in Theatre from Fairmont State University in 2022 and continues to share her love for the arts with students of all ages. She offers private acting lessons through the Fairmont State University Academy for the Arts. She's part of the Alpha Cast of Alpha Psi Omega and performed in Urinetown the Musical (2018) at the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival Region II, where she was also a nominee for the Irene Ryan Scholarship (2020). Ashley will be returning as a cast member at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
