Hello I’m Ms. Ashley. I wanted to tell you a little about myself!

Teaching began for me with my brother learning his ABCs and animal facts in our impromptu classroom of upside-down clothes basket desks with National Geographic magazines at home. Even then I had always known a love of school would resonant with me well into adulthood. Since those days, I have traveled to Guatemala and as far as Cuenca, Ecuador. I worked as a Spanish/English substitute and later taught in an CEDEI Preschool.

I aim to be a guide in the learning process by providing a warm and caring nature (and a bit of energetic and dramatic flair) to each day!

Thank you for your loving welcome into the Primrose family!
