Some people are known by a defining characteristic that others use to describe them. Growing up in the suburbs of North Jersey, Ashley was often labeled with one word: timid. Throughout her school years, she was teased for her stutter and shy nature. In high school, determined to change, she enrolled in public speaking classes and auditioned for the school play. To her surprise, she landed the lead role, beginning her journey to finding her voice.
