Director of Community Outreach
Ashley is a passionate advocate for inclusion and accessibility who has worked to support autistic children and their families, primarily within the early intervention and child welfare systems, since 2010. She has particular interest in neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed practice, family support and preservation, special education advocacy, disability justice and centering the perspectives of those with lived experience.
In addition to her professional background, Ashley’s work is informed by her experience as a neurodivergent person and as the parent of a neurodivergent and disabled child. She is excited and grateful to apply her experience and passion to her work at ANNA, supporting families and raising awareness in the community.
At home, Ashley enjoys scripting episodes of Bluey with her son, lifting weights and watching the strangest documentaries she can find.
