Ashley

Fear Free Certified

Ashley is a Florida native! She began working in animal medicine as a kennel tech when she was 17. At one point she left the veterinary medicine field for a few years. However, in 2012 she went back – leaving the veterinary medicine field made her realize how much passion she has for it!

For the last five years she was a veterinary technician at a day practice. She also worked as a critical care nurse with a veterinary emergency clinic for a little over a year. Ashley graduated with her Associates Degree from Seminole State College in 2017. She is currently a student at St. Petersburg College in the veterinary technology program – only 5 more classes until she’s done!! Her goal is to attend The University of Florida when she graduates from St. Petersburg – studying for a Bachelors in Biology. Once she graduates UF she would like to pursue something with FWC, research or conservation.

“I have an amazing daughter who is my pride and joy. She keeps me on my toes with her extracurricular activities (tumbling/cheer). I have the most handsome weenie (dachshund) named Brownie, I fell in love with him when I walked past his kennel at Orange County Animal Services 12 years ago!! I knew in that moment I just had to be his furever mom.” When Ashley isn’t at work, she enjoys traveling, going to concerts, the beach or simply hanging out with her friends and family.
