Life and career
Ashley was born in Boston, Massachusetts. She graduated from Copley Square High School on Newbury Street in Boston, Massachusetts. Her first acting job was as an original cast member on the sketch comedy show In Studio 4-B that appeared on the PTEN network. After leaving "In Studio 4-B", she offered the role of Aisha Campbell, the second Yellow Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, replacing Thuy Trang (Trini Kwan). Staying on for two years, Ashley left the show in 1995. She was replaced by Nakia Burrise (Tanya) for Power Rangers Zeo. Her last Power Rangers appearance was in the finale for the third season of the series. Ashley has said that her decision to leave the series was because of the demanding hours. She also reveals that she was to be given an exiting story arc, just as Amy Jo Johnson was, but instead, following time off while her character was reduced to a child for some time in the third season, she would find that she was not asked to return to the set, the official reason given was that her character's recovery would not require her to appear on screen.
From 1996 to 2002, Ashley landed the role of Wyleena Pritchett on the NBC sitcom Boston Common. Since then, Ashley has made guest appearances in TV shows such as Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, Kenan & Kel, and The Parkers, just to name a few, and acted in a few minor films since the ending of Boston Common like Taylor's Wall. Her first big debut as, editor and executive producer was the independent film Devon's Ghost, alongside fellow Power Ranger alumnus Johnny Yong Bosch and executive producer Koichi Sakamoto for Gag Order Films, Inc. While she also co-wrote Devon's Ghost, her first writing staple came with the film Unto Thee in 1999. She co-wrote the film with Gia and Tim Grace, and also starred in the movie.
In August 2010, Ashley was invited to Power Morphicon, the second Power Rangers fan convention in Pasadena, California. In September 2011, Ashley joined the National Talk Radio Show "UnCensored Radio" (formerly "Unscripted Radio") as a regular Co-Host. As of August 2012 Ashley took over the roll of Moderator on the show. Also in August 2012, Ashley with fellow Co-Host Katrina Johnson and Jeffrey Emmette filmed "Uncensored Reality", a reality show tied into Uncensored Radio. In 2013, Ashley joined Walter Emanuel Jones and Robert Axelrod for the 20th Anniversary of Power Rangers at Dragon*Con.
Currently, in 2016, she stars in the webseries Class Dismissed, alongside Nakia Burrise.
