When not showcasing her talents, Ashley enjoys outings to her favorite store, Target, indulging in treats at Yogurtland, and hitting the bowling alley with friends for a friendly competition. In her downtime, she engages in more relaxed activities such as reading, coloring, solving puzzles, and watching her favorite shows on her iPad. With a penchant for the colors purple and pink, Ashley embraces the festivities of Halloween, often seen in Disney princess costumes while trick-or-treating.
Known for her warm and kind-hearted nature, Ashley is quick to offer compliments on outfits or comforting words to those in need—a characteristic that will most definitely serve her in her aspirations to work in a hospital someday. She has a soft spot for fur babies and little ones, further emphasizing her caring nature.
Guess what else? Along with all those awesome qualities we just shared, word on the street is Ashley's got a talent for knock-knock jokes. Spot her on the field and don't be shy – ask for her top-notch joke! We promise it'll add some extra cheer to your day.
