"The wonderful reception I've received and the adoration for what I do has motivated me to continue doing what I do," Ashley said about her wonderful career in entertainment. "My rewards have been in the constant work I've been blessed to do in a field that is so ultra-competitive."

The wife and mother of two, who are now very successful, credits her family for much of her good fortune in her career. Although she had to make adjustments in order to raise a family and still be able to work, she wouldn't have changed a thing.
