Undergraduate: Johns Hopkins
Medical School: Duke University School of Medicine (AOA)

Ashley grew up in Montclair, NJ before attending college at Johns Hopkins University where she majored in psychology. Before medical school Ashley worked for a year as a direct-care counselor at a psychiatric residential treatment facility, an experience that fostered her interest in providing integrated medical and psychiatric care for children and adolescents in the residential setting. Ashley received her MD in 2019 from Duke University School of Medicine where she was selected into the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) honor society and spent a year researching the clinical phenotypes of autoimmune brain disorders, such as Autoimmune Encephalitis and Hashimoto’s Encephalopathy. While in medical school Ashley developed a strong interest in medical education, taking an active role in teaching first year students and developing seminars on the emotions of shame, guilt, and the concept of resilience within the medical learning environment. She also began a medical humanities program called Scopes, which allowed medical students to develop creative projects with patients in the Durham community that represented their experiences with chronic illness.
Ashley is interested in working within the criminal justice system, foster care medicine, and integrated primary care. She is ecstatic to be joining the Triple Board program at Brown, where she found the perfect balance between rigorous clinical training at a variety of sites and a community of co-residents and faculty eager to encourage her interests. In her free time, Ashley enjoys listening to podcasts, baking, yoga, documentary film, and pickup outdoor sports. She is thrilled to be moving back to the northeast to a city with plenty of new coffee shops to explore.
