In July 2024, she brought her legal knowledge and skill to Fitzgibbons Law, extending the firm’s 50-year legacy to the third generation of Fitzgibbons attorneys.

Ashley is a Casa Grande native and attended Casa Grande Union High School. Before entering law school, she earned a master’s degree in secondary education and served with Teach for America as a high school English teacher in Phoenix.
