About Ashley

I graduated from Appalachian State University with a degree in Child Development: Family and Consumer Sciences in 2019. I recently relocated to Portland, OR from Asheville, NC where I was a NC Pre-K teacher for almost two years. Prior to that I was working with at-risk teens in a wilderness and residential environment. I transferred departments to work with a younger age group (4/5 y/os) and was quickly reminded of my passion for working with younger children. I love incorporating the natural environment into children's play and learning experiences as much as possible, and feel children learn the most when their needs are met and they are having fun. I have worked with most age groups, along with children with various developmental delays/ disabilities.
