Ashley has been teaching since she was in Kindergarten. Little did she know, her dolls would one day become real-life students and the overhead projector her mother bought her at her small town garage sale would become her students’ interactive whiteboard. After earning her Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Texas Tech University, she taught Kindergarten and fell in love all over again. She then pursued her graduate degree at The University of Texas at Austin and earned her Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction.

On January 3, 2018, WonderWell's first Imagineers walked through the front doors!
