Hobbies
Hi! My name is Ashley. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing, sketching, and drawing. I have a very strong passion for music - both performing and composing. Advocating the arts is also important to me. I also volunteer with Toastmasters International to help adults overcome public speaking obstacles and develop leadership skills; which I then apply to non-adult students as well.
