Ashton was born in Seattle, Washington and is the eldest of three kids. She moved around a lot growing up but spent her last three years of high school in Texas, where she started her TV/Film career. When Ashton was in the third grade she told her friends that she was going to be an actress when she grew up and she has stuck to those words today. Ashton's passion is in telling stories that call people to action, move people emotionally and to make people think deeper. Her hope is to one day get the opportunity to tell stories that people create life long memories around.
