BIO
Ashley is a Wealth Planning Associate at Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management.

Ashley attended an all-girls high school in Los Feliz before earning her degree from Loyola Marymount University, allowing her to remain close to her family, with whom she shares a strong bond.
At LMU, Ashley studied Psychology and Business Administration, a combination that strengthened her understanding of human behavior and strategic decision-making. Her background in psychology has been especially valuable in building meaningful client relationships and aligns closely with Gerber Kawasaki’s client-first philosophy.
During her time at LMU, Ashley held several leadership roles, including Philanthropy Director, IT Director, Recruitment Director, and Vice President of Operations for her sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta. She also served on the Student Activity Fee Allocation Board, helping allocate financial support to student organizations across campus.

One of her long-term goals is to empower women to achieve financial independence, particularly during major life transitions. Having seen many women lack confidence in managing their finances or investing, Ashley is passionate about helping others build financial clarity and confidence, inspired by being raised by parents who encouraged independence and ambition.
Outside of work, Ashley enjoys learning to cook different cuisines, with her latest project being homemade sushi, which has been a delicious success. She is also an avid football and baseball fan and proudly cheers on her favorite teams, including the 2025 World Series champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
