Ashley started at Gold Star as a member of our Senior All-Star Cheer Team in 2007 a team which has qualified to Nationals every year. Ashley has earned a U.S.A. Gymnastics Safety Certification. She has been a cheerleader for 5 years, a soccer player for 9 years and a softball player for 10 years (placing 7th in the Western World Series in Seattle in 2004). She began teaching in the fall of 2008, claiming that the very best coaches she has ever had across her multitude of sports and years of competitions, were the ones she has had at Gold Star. Although our cheer coaches may have been a role model for her, Ashley is quickly becoming an exemplar for her students. Her jubilant approach is so infectious she brings joy to everyone teaching around her. Her confidence and dedication are unparalleled. We feel very lucky to have her as a member of our staff.
