Ashley is a Bronx native and has lived her whole life in New York City. She has a bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a concentration in secondary education from The City College of New York of CUNY. Her first teaching experience was with the Archdiocese of New York for 3 years, before moving to charter school in 2019. She has taught STEM in middle and high school for the past 7 years. Ashley’s education philosophy of making rigorous, intentional instruction accessible to all scholars regardless of socioeconomic background has been the driving force of her career as an educator.
