Ashley joined the Eyewitness News team in December of 2018.
She has covered major events here in Central Florida during that time, from Hurricane Dorian, to the pandemic, to breaking news.
One of her most memorable stories to date happened when a search began in Winter Garden for missing 16-year-old Bruce Haggins Junior.
Ashley followed the case closely.
She dug through court documents and eventually tracked down a man who knew what happened the day Haggins died.
She previously worked for a CBS affiliate in upstate New York.
There, Ashley began investigating head of the Albany Transportation committee, after she learned he wasn’t taking action on a bill that would make it a felony in the state to drive with a suspended license more than five times.
Her investigation uncovered and exposed negligence happening in Albany.
She graduated from Bradley University in 2011 and took her first TV job shortly after in Dothan, Alabama.
Most notably while there, Ashley was one of the first on the ground when a veteran kidnapped a young boy off his school bus and held him hostage for a week.
Ashley loves getting to know the people of Central Florida and is happy to call the Sunshine State home.
She would love to hear from you, especially if you have a story to share!
