A great clinician-patient relationship and successful health outcomes start with active listening and clear communication. It is always my goal to provide compassionate, safe, evidence-based care.
"The Mission of OSF embodies everything I value about being a clinician - the ability to help patients by providing excellent, judgment-free care that always respects the dignity of life," Ashley said.
She knew from a young age that she wanted to pursue a career in health care.
"My mother was an inpatient psychiatric nurse for many years, and I was always intrigued by her stories growing up," Ashley said. "I shadowed a physician assistant shortly after starting college, and I knew then that the PA profession would be a great fit for me."
Primary care has become her passion.
"It's a great responsibility, but also a great privilege, to be the main orchestrator for a patient's medical needs," Ashley said.
Married with four young children, Ashley's greatest joy in life is spending time with her family. She also enjoys cooking, reading and being outdoors.
