Ashley is an extremely trustworthy teacher and person. She has integrity within all of the work that she does and is passionate and creative, putting so much love and time into everything she accomplishes. She has extensive experience in many different fields of art, and is an absolute light to be around. Learning from her is nothing short of a blessing, as she can foresee the gifts in others and give them the confidence and comfort they need to express themselves to the fullest. I have personally witnessed and experienced her greatness being a teacher to so many in so many different ways whether it’s through her children’s show “wise ocean” where she focuses on teaching emotional intelligence, bringing people together within her community and family, being an incredible mother, photography, creative direction, editing, videography, song writing, music, cooking, and more, she demonstrates the upmost leadership, patience and creativity in everything she does. She understands each person as an individual and I have no doubt that she will help to teach and inspire whoever is in her presence to excel at whatever they have set out to accomplish.

Ashley is a highly trustworthy and skilled educator, recognized for her passion and dedication to her craft. Through my experience working with her on set, I have gained valuable techniques and insights. One of the most impactful lessons I’ve learned from Ashley is the importance of resourcefulness she demonstrated that creating exceptional work isn’t always about having the most expensive equipment, but about making the most of what you have.
This mindset has profoundly transformed how I approach my projects, regardless of the circumstances. I’ve witnessed Ashley achieve stunning, professional-quality results using modest tools, such as $1,000 cameras and Neewer lights, producing content that rivals productions with budgets of $20,000. Her expertise and innovative approach make her an outstanding mentor for anyone eager to elevate their skills.
