Dedicated to giving back, Ashley volunteers with the Baton Rouge Bar Association’s Pro Bono Project, where she was recognized in 2023 for contributing more than 100 hours of legal service to low-income clients. She is an active member of the Baton Rouge Bar Association and its Family Law Section.

In addition to being an attorney, she previously worked in her family’s business as a licensed arborist, where she developed the discipline, focus, and work ethic that continues to define her legal practice today. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling and exploring new cuisines, often recreating dishes from her favorite destinations in her own kitchen.
