This 22 year-old woman describes herself as funny, outgoing and flirty, with an emphasis on flirty. Ashley once moved to San Diego for a relationship that did not work out, but now this bubbly former competitive cheerleader plans to use her flirty ways to endear herself to and at the same time manipulate the male castaways. Not only relying on her womanly wiles, Ashley feels that her strong determination will get her far in the game. She claims that she usually gets whatever she wants as long as she puts her heart and mind to it.

In her spare time, Ashley loves kickboxing, watching movies, and shopping. She describes her perfect day as sleeping in followed by working out and shopping, then ending her day with a nice dinner and a movie. During her time away from home, she will miss her mother, whom she describes as her best friend. She will also miss her favorite comfort item, which is her pillow.

Ashley works in a very competitive commission based sales job where she can sell almost anything. She has no qualms about selling items that she hates as long as it helps her reach her quota. She hopes that her “get it done” attitude will win her the title of Sole Survivor. Her first purchase, should she take home the grand prize, would be a condo or new house.

Currently, Ashley resides in Maple Grove, Minn. Her birth date is February 27.

Survivor: Samoa
Ashley began the game on the Foa Foa tribe. On Day 1 she joined Russell Hantz's 'Dumb Girl's Alliance'. After Foa Foa lost the first Immunity Challenge she was targeted for being the weakest member of the tribe. Luckily for Ashley, Russell targeted Marisa Calihan because she didn't trust him. Russell managed to convince the majority of his tribe, including Ashley, to vote for Marisa. Ashley received three votes but luckily that was not enough to eliminate her as at Tribal Council Marisa was eliminated in a 7-3 vote.

Ashley continued to stay in her alliance with Russell, which also included a strong sister-like alliance with Natalie White. Ashley and Natalie decided to tell each-other if their name would ever come up for elimination. After Foa Foa lost again Ashley followed Russell in voting out Betsy Bolan.

Ashley and fellow Foa Foa tribe mate Ben Browning formed a strong rivalry caused by Ben constantly calling Ashley weak and generally insulting his tribe. When Foa Foa lost the Immunity Challenge again the tribe had to decide between voting out weak Ashley or abrasive Ben. Although Ashley was initially the target, when Ben exploded at Tribal Council he sealed his fate and Ashley was able to avoid elimination.

Foa Foa was finally able to win Immunity in Hungry for a Win, keeping Ashley safe for the first time in the game. Unfortunately Foa Foa was unable to win again and after performing terribly in the Immunity Challenge she was targeted. Due to the torrential rain Foa Foa was unable to strategise and were forced to huddle in the shelter. Due to her weak challenge performance, along with the fact no-one could strategise, Ashley was voted off in a 5-1 vote.
