"Adolescent literacy is my joy and passion."
Ashley understands that students must first master basic literacy skills to be able to read, write, speak and listen in order to be college and career ready.
At CTL, Ashley is a lead trainer, program designer, developer, author and mentor coach. She uses her experience as a high school classroom teacher, writing cluster leader and literacy coach to work on various projects, including the federally funded Striving Readers adolescent literacy project. She is a Language Arts specialist and focuses her expertise on other ELA teachers and foundational literacy, including as part of CTL's work on the federal Promise Neighborhoods planning grant.
Ashley is a native of Bowling Green, Kentucky, and has accompanied high school students to Australia, Europe and Great Britain as part of the People to People International program. She is married and the proud mom of daughters Sadie and Lilah, and the family's beloved white boxer, Luna.
