Ashley was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, and moved to Pomona with her family at the age of 13. She is deeply family-oriented and values spending quality time with her loved ones—even if it’s simply being in their company. Outside of academics, she enjoys exploring new coffee shops, trying different foods, and watching Netflix series.

During her time in the Associated Student Body (ASB) at her high school in Pomona, Ashley developed a strong passion for community involvement. She played an active role in organizing and coordinating events for students, with the goal of creating an environment where they could be themselves, relieve stress, and feel excited about coming to school. She is committed to continuing to make a positive impact on others, especially through her work at Level Up. Ashley is pursuing a role as a Direct Support Professional because she has a genuine passion for helping others and believes in treating everyone with kindness, dignity, and respect.

Ashley is currently an undergraduate at UCLA, majoring in Business Economics. She is eager to further her education while continuing to grow both personally and professionally, particularly in her social and interpersonal skills.
