Born and raised in Washington, Ashley grew up in the great outdoors. When she is not in the courtroom or at the office, she can often be found exploring the outdoor beauty of the Pacific Northwest, taking full advantage of everything the region has to offer. While in college, Ashley raced competitively for the University of Washington’s Husky Ski Team. Today, she continues to enjoy skiing with family and friends, hitting mountain slopes across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
