Ashley had a lot of energy as a toddler, so her parents decided to enroll her into gymnastics so that she could have a safe place to burn off energy. Her three older sisters were taking gymnastics at that time, and Ashley wanted to be like them. As she advanced in gymnastics, she has earned numerous distinctions. Ashley was the 2014 level 4 State Uneven Bars Champion with a 9.9, and that score named her to America’s top 100 in level 4. She tested out of level 5, skipped level 6, and quickly moved up to level 7 for the 2016 season.

Ashley was the 2016 level 7 State Vault Champion and 2016 level 7 Regional Vault Champion. In 2017, as a level 8 gymnast, Ashley placed fourth on vault and ninth in the all-around with a 37.550 at the State Championships. She qualified to the Region 3 Championships, finishing first on vault and third on uneven bars. Ashley qualified to the 2020 Level 10 State Championships but was unable to compete due to COVID-19 pandemic. Ashley was injured most of the 2021 season. In 2022, Ashley finished second in the all-around with a 37.650 at the State Championships. At the Region 3 Championships, she placed third in the all-around and third on floor exercise. Ashley qualified to the Level 10 National Championships in Mesa, AZ.

In middle school, Ashley was an honor student, and one of her school accomplishments was making band regionals playing clarinet. This year Ashley is starting her freshman year as an IB student at Westwood HS. Her hobbies include dancing, swimming, hanging out with friends and family, and traveling to different states. While traveling, Ashley likes to visit state and national parks, go hiking, and enjoy nature.
