I have a passion for engineering education. My goal as an instructor is to create an encouraging environment for kids to learn science and engineering, and to help kids feel confident about their abilities while having fun. My hobbies outside of work are writing and reading, my biggest dream is writing a science fiction novel. I also enjoy the outdoors, playing soccer and learning new piano songs.

I love seeing the joy on their faces and the genuine excitement from learning new things. In my spare time Ill be playing with my new puppy or playing ultimate frisbee.

Hello, my name is Ashley and I am very happy to be part of the Engineering For Kids Team. I have obtained a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology, Developmental Studies, and English. I am currently completing my Bachelors of Social Work and will continue to pursue my Masters degree. In my previous working experiences I have had opportunities to work with children from varying learning backgrounds and developed the skill set to facilitate curriculum to ensure that every child is able to grasp the concepts at his or her abilities. I thoroughly believe in approaching learning from a fun perspective and incorporate this in all the activities I teach. In my free time I enjoy running, going for bike rides, reading, and spending time with my pets. I look forward to meeting you soon at one of our programs!
