Ashton is a Jacksonville native and has grown up with a passion for music. From a young age, her family would bring her along to the Alhambra Theatre & Dining, where she discovered her love for theatre and later got her first job as a hostess.
She went on to study theatre in college, moving to Illinois for a brief period to attend Millikin University, then finishing her degree at the University of Central Florida in 2020. While there, Ashton worked with the Walt Disney Company at a few of their theme parks, where she learned the value of making magic.
She moved back to Jacksonville in the summer of 2022, returning to her family and her boyfriend at the time, now husband, Travis. Ashton has been the manager of Jacksonville School of Music since September 2023 and is thankful every day to see our teachers and students pursue their musical passions.
