Ashley
LEAD PLANNER & DESIGNER
As a kid, I wanted to be… a lawyer (funny!).
In my free time… I enjoy hanging out with my family, whether it’s day-tripping or relaxing in my PJs all day if I can!
I apply my faith and values… in all that I do. It’s important to be the same person at home that I am with a client — treating people with the respect and honor they deserve. I’m by far not perfect, but I aspire to give my best in all that I do.
I’m afraid of… snakes, sharks, and horror movies. I still can’t swim very easily in the deep end of a pool because I swear a great white shark is going to come out of a “hidden cage” and get me… Thanks, Jaws!
