One year later she performed on stage at the Jubilee Auditorium in the big budget Production of 'A Little Mermaid'. At the age of twelve Ashley longed to get back into performing and joined Youth Singers which performed internationally and annually at the 'Calgary Stampede' but dropped out after a month as she hated it. Time went by and her talent untapped, Ashley was fifteen when she started modeling. Ashley did her first catwalk for TIGI in Calgary which after her picture was in the local newspaper with a fashion article titled 'Female Allure'. Modelling was on her mind that year, which she also did her first year of drama class. Before completing her drama class and her last performance her teacher pulled her aside and said "Make sure in high school you take more drama class, and with acting never stop." Ashley was surprised and shocked but on the record, Art, Drama and English were her strongest subjects.In high school, Ashley enrolled in Drama but found it to be too technical and was easily bored by the history and paperwork of it. Ashley kept on modeling and moved to Fort McMurray Alberta at the age of seventeen. When Ashley turned eighteen she began building her portfolio as a independent model. An extreme truck calendar, lingerie shoots, fashion photo shoots led her to bikini modeling in Puerto Vallarta for one week with Ujena in 2006. She was humbled to have such amazing experiences and wanted to work harder and play equally as hard. Everyday and every photo shoot Ashley would work one on one with the photographer and come up new and creative images. Ashley modeled at Ujena 2007 in Puerto Vallarta for two weeks and kept working locally after she returned home. In 2008 Ashley joined a Talent agency for modeling and was listed on the roster for acting, she accepted took the opportunity.
