Ashley is outgoing, friendly, keeps an active life style and is always willing to help others.  During her childhood years, she was involved in martial arts and soccer here in Cape Coral.  She then moved on to cheer at the Pop Warner Storms field where she cheered for 6 years, making it all the way to Nationals the first year.  She later volunteered as a Junior Coach at the Storms field. 

As she entered High School, she continued to cheer during her freshman year and then moved into the Student Athletic Trainer program with Ida Baker.  She has been a Student Athletic Trainer for 3 years working with Ms. Kudla.

She has one younger brother, Blaise, who also attends Ida S. Baker as a freshman this year.

Congratulations Ashley and good luck as you head off to college.  We know there is a bright future ahead for you!
