Ashley has been a part of Hall Highlights since her freshman year. She is now an senior and Assistant Editor-in-Chief of HallRecord. Taking a page from her sister's book, she decided to join because writing is something she enjoys. Not only does she enjoy it, but the process of writing for the newspaper improves her work as well. Outside of school, Ashley enjoys spending time with her family and trying new food.
