Hello,
I'm Ashley, an actress and creator born and raised just outside of Kansas City in Lawrence, KS. With a Bachelor's degree in Theatre from the University of Kansas, my passion for the performing arts has been the driving force behind my journey.
Throughout college, I honed my skills and expanded my portfolio in not only theatre but commercial, film, print and voice over. Soon, I achieved a significant milestone, obtaining my first film credit for the acclaimed movie "Jayhawkers," directed by the talented Kevin Willmott.
Upon completing my studies, I relocated to Los Angeles with my cat and whatever I could fit in my car. There, I took further steps to secure talent representation and surrendered myself to the process no matter the outcome. However, like many, my journey took an unexpected turn in 2020, as the world grappled with the challenges of a pandemic.
In the midst of uncertainty, I made the difficult decision to return to the embrace of Kansas City. Little did I know that this would prove to be the silver lining of my story. Refusing to let distance stand in the way, I continued to pursue my passion, landing significant roles in Los Angeles productions. Notably, a year-long commercial campaign for "US Cellular" and a worldwide booking with "Amazon", proving to myself that the limit of success isn't bound by geographical location.
One of the most gratifying moments of my journey came with my lead role in the independent feature film, "Unseen." The film's success on the film festival circuit brought immense pride and joy, reinforcing my commitment to the craft of acting.
Recently, my ambitions have taken me to the vibrant city of Chicago, where I've signed with one of the top talent agencies, opening new doors for my artistic endeavors.
Today, I still proudly call Kansas City my permanent home (again), alongside my fiancé, and two small fur children, Mango, the cat and Vino, the dog.
