Ashley attended college at Columbus State University in Columbus, Georgia on a competitive cheerleading scholarship. In 2004, she won the title of Miss Columbus State University, a preliminary to the Miss Georgia Pageant, where she promoted her platform, “Cancer Awareness and Education”.

 

She later transferred to the University of Miami, graduating with honors, receiving a B.A. in Economics and a double minor in Business Law and English. A member of the UM co-ed cheerleading team, Ashley was chosen to represent the Miami Hurricanes in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Sideline Spirit Contest.

 

After graduation, Ashley worked as an on-air reporter and anchor for WPLG, the ABC affiliate television station in Miami, and was a host of LATV Miami. Having a passion to perform, Ashley auditioned and became an NFL cheerleader for the Miami Dolphins. Her experience with the ‘Fins took her around the globe to exotic places like London, Bahrain, Djibouti, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, as part of the Armed Forces Entertainment military tour performing for U.S. Troops.

 

Ashley eventually made the journey back home to Georgia, where she currently resides in Atlanta.
