ABOUT ME

My name is Ashleigh. I work as a home-based therapist with children and their families. I am working towards becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I play roller derby on a local team. I love to read and listen to music. I write poetry sometimes and once day hope to write a novel or two. I am passionate about people and life, and always try to look at the positive sides of things. I am also a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, I served as a Community Health Advisor in Malawi from 2010-2011. I left service early to start graduate school.
