Ashley has been planning events since she was a little girl, but when she was little, no one told her she could plan events for a living. When Ashley discovered that she could make event planning a career, she diligently began obtaining the education and certification necessary to excel in the industry. In 2011, Ashley became a certified Wedding Planner and joined the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC). Desiring further education and experience, she connected with a mentor and enrolled in Ashford University. In 2020, she graduated with her Bachelor of Arts in Service Management with a specialization in Hospitality Management.
