She has been a pro for Dancing with the Montgomery County Stars for three years. Before that she danced for the Putman County DWTS for seven years.

She says she participates in the Youth Service Bureau fundraiser because her love for dance brings her back every year and “it’s a nice feeling to be able to help with such an important fundraiser.” Ashley thinks the public should support Jason and her because “her partner is stepping completely out of his comfort zone for this event, so come show him lots of love. It’s such a fun evening and you get to leave feeling great about supporting the youth of Montgomery County.”
