Ashley is the visionary Founder, Director, and President of Anakin’s Trails. Her journey began with a deeply personal mission to reunite with her beloved pet, Anakin, who went missing. With determination, strategic planning, and the support of her husband, four boys, sister, mother, and a dedicated circle of family and friends, Ashley successfully captured Anakin on the 29th day of his adventure, inspiring the creation of Anakin’s Trails.

Today, Ashley leads the organization with passion and commitment, taking on diverse roles that range from trapper, mapper, and baiter to fostering logistics and community outreach. She also coordinates the intake of clients, manages supplies from her home, and ensures every detail—from hanging flyers to retrieving traps—is handled with care and precision.

Now retired, Ashley enjoys spending quality time with her husband, four boys, six dogs, and extended family. She is the proud pet parent of two Anakin’s Trails rescue pups and remains dedicated to building a compassionate community for animals in need.
