Ashley began with Behavioral Autism Therapies early 2019. She has always had a passion for working with children. In fact she has been working with children since she was a child. Her love for giving back to others came about because growing up her mother worked with kids as well, and so she promised herself that when she got older she would do the same. Prior to coming to Behavioral Autism Therapies, she worked with other programs such as the YMCA, CDA, and Headstart. She is currently transitioning out of her role as a behavioral therapist to join the administrative team in our San Diego location. During her spare time Ashley enjoys working out, planning a day with her family or experimenting new recipes in the kitchen.
