Ashley grew up in Southwest Michigan and joined Clearwater Financial in 2018 as a career exploration opportunity through Otsego High School. She quickly realized that financial advising was her future career. 
 

After the career exploration program ended, Ashley continued her path with Clearwater Financial while attending Western Michigan University. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with her degree in Personal Financial Planning in 2022 and was named the Department of Finance and Commercial Law's 2023 Presidential Scholar. 

After graduation, she embarked on the journey of earning the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ mark and achieved the designation in 2024. Then, she jumped right into studying for her securities registrations and earned her Series 7 license through FINRA, and her Series 66 license through NASAA.

​

In 2024, Ashley married her husband, Josh and they are now building their forever home in Otsego. Together they have one dog, a dachshund named Duncan.
