Ashley is an actor, teaching artist, and standardized patient with a lifelong curiosity about people and the many ways we connect, communicate, and care for one another.

Her stage work includes productions with Central Square Theatre, Commonwealth Shakespeare Company, Speakeasy Stage, theatre KAPOW, and many others in the Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New York areas. She is a native of Newburyport and has been a lifelong participant in the area's theaters, including The Actor's Studio and The Firehouse.

Beyond the stage, Ashley collaborates with healthcare educators as a standardized patient with New England Clinical Skills Consulting, helping medical students develop their communication and clinical skills through realistic simulation. She also coaches learners through patient-perspective feedback on communication, empathy, and patient-centered care.

As someone in long-term recovery, Ashley is especially grateful to perform with 2nd Act, a collective of artists using drama therapy and theatre to spark open and honest conversations about substance use disorder, reducing stigma, and second chances. Their work brings original educational theatre to schools, treatment centers, and community events all throughout New England.

In her downtime, Ashley can be found reading, wandering thrift stores, daydreaming, walking in the woods, stand-up paddle-boarding, and playing Dungeons and Dragons with unapologetic intensity. She has no social media.
