Primary Pre-Kindergarten Teacher

Hello! My name is Ashley! I grew up in Middle Tennessee and graduated in 2012 from Tennessee Technological University with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies: Fine Art and Exercise Science. In school I met my now husband, Nick, at a swing dancing club on campus. After graduation he, I, and our dog Bailey, moved to Orlando, FL so I could fulfill a lifelong dream of working at Walt Disney World. In December 2015 we moved back to Tennessee which led me to work with children in a before/ after school program. In 2016 we made the move to Colorado. I have since then aspired in teaching where each day I get to mold young minds in creativity and knowledge.

Hi, I’m Angelina! I’ve been working as a float at Primrose School at the Flatirons since September 2024, and I absolutely love getting to spend time with all the incredible kiddos here. Floating gives me the chance to see so many unique personalities and moments of growth, and it’s so fun to walk into the class every day and be a part of whatever’s happening.

I’m a Colorado native and graduated high school in spring 2024. I’m currently taking classes at Front Range Community College to earn my associate’s degree in chemistry. When I’m not at work or school, you can find me hiking Colorado’s beautiful trails, hanging out with friends, or pressing flowers I find along the way. I also grew up dancing and competed for 14 years!

It’s such a privilege to be part of this amazing community, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow alongside the kids here at Primrose—the catalysts of my enthusiasm!
