Hi, my name is Ashlea.  I am a single mother to a beautiful and vibrant daughter and active in my church, One Community Church-Garland.  I received my bachelor's degree in Communications from the University of Texas at Arlington and graduated with my M.Ed in Guidance and Counseling from Angelo State University.  I have over 11 years of experience in Education as a middle school teacher and School Counselor.  I am a certified Youth Resilience Coach through the Youth Coaching Institute and attended the IECA Summer Institute training through Independent Education Consultants Association (Class of 2022).  My passion in life has always been to help others, especially youth.  I want to empower those who cross my path to embrace their intrinsic greatness regardless of their circumstances.
